This is exceptional information and so very interesting.   My contact with the orphanage gave me the information that the Wilson I was researching there was in fact born in 1868 and not 1872 as I  had found on the IGI index (sadly another dead end) however many thanks for the email.

I was wondering if anyone remembers a James McLaren, superintendant of Spurgeons orphanage when it went it went to Wray Park, Reigate during  WWII and in particular the "scandal" surrounding his resignation and others, mentioned in the House of Commons in 1943. He was my grandfather. Can anyone shed more light on the circumstances?
