Hi Annie,

Denis and Mark are on page 5 of the SS Sardinian that arrived April 29th.

Need to figure out who Rev. Russell is associated with and where the children went to when once he brought them over here.

You are both VERY good girls !!  Thank you .... I must have passed page 5 - I don't know how many times !! 

"Rev. Rossalli's party to Montreal " ....... and not Rev Russell !!  see - there's something else !!

A couple of ideas ..... Manchester Refuge Home ... and Salford Catholic Protection and Rescue Society .... now I can't find them either !! 

I need a brain storm !!

Hmm, Migky's gr-uncle Lewis Basset was a home child who was sent from Manchester.  Micky has note where Lewis and his brother were in the care of Salford Boy's Home.

Karen

LOL, I noticed that too JJ

[J.J.]

P.s. re: 1901 yes tried just age...etc....so don't kill yourselves in there....
It just came to me that when hubby's dad retired and sent for his birth cert. it had him down as Michelle... ( for Maxwell ?)

[liverpool annie]

Dear all,

Apologies if this is rather late and possibly now insignificant (I have only just stumbled across this message list.)

Let me introduce myself, i am Toby Davison, recently appointed Archivist/Records Manager of the Boys and Girls Welfare Society, formerly the Manchester and Salford refuges. We are the organisation that owned the Crossley Home that you are all referring to.

A short history of the Society is available from our website at www.bgws.org.uk, however we have a limited amount of archive material available at present (we are working on that) which may be able to provide some more material on individual personnel.

I hope this is of some use to you, if I can help further please do not hesitate to contact me, all the details can be accessed via our website.

Kind Regards

Toby
