My 2nd great grandmother was Mary Jane henderson born abt 1830 in Enniskillen and died there in 1882. She married John Bleakley there in 1847.

Is anyone researching the henderson-Bleakley connection?

Thanks for the tip. I tried Leeds library but they have nothing. I'm the eternal optimist and someday I'll find a photo!

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Headingley Orphan Home in Leeds

I am searching for a photograph of the Headingley orphan Home where my father resided from 1913-1919. It closed in 1959.

Thank you, Dee! They responded quickly and found out my Dad was placed in Headingley Orphan Home in Leeds! I think it helped that I told them he and his family were all members of the Society of Friends and I think this orphanage was run by them. They gave me an e-mail contact so I can find out if I can retrieve his records.

I would dearly love to have a photograph of this building if it still exists. Does anyone have an idea where I could search online? I tried a google search but was not successful.

I was able to obtain all my grandmother's records by providing documentaion that she was indeed my grandmother. She was admitted on April 14, 1913. It was then known as a Pauper Lunatic Asylum I believe. It cost me a small fee.

My late father was placed in an orphange about 1913 when his mother was placed in Stanley Royds in Wakefield. There are no living relatives to ask the name of the orphanage. It may have been in wakefield, Bradford, Leeds or some place else. How can I find the names of orphanages in Wes Yorkshire?
