British Home Children - 1890

[M.T.H]

Great, thanks Karen!

I shall go and check it out.

I did do an image search earlier for Craig Street and found some old photo's, I also discovered that it's now called Sainte-Antoine Steet.

Yes it would be interesting to follow some of those 'cowboys' to see where they ended up, trouble is, I don't have access to the US census

Glad Micky got the pm to you, he's a good boy that Micky.  His wife has taught him well 

Yes, he's been a great help. Where would us blokes be without the good women in our lives?, hmmmm.... in the pub probably!

Cheers,

Mick

All you need to do is "steer" us in the right direction ..............  ( more cowboy talk !!  )

I tried that site Karen and I got a Craig St even .... but then I couldn't get the image bigger and was messing with it and lost it ... I threw up my hands .... so it's your turn Mr Hippy - I give in !!

At least you got a bit further than I have!To my eternal shame I'm still struggling with the menus . I tried Google translate, but it only translates the bit under the main pic.

CHILD CARE ORGANISATIONS                A

The following is a list of organisations which have been involved in the care of children.  The list is not exhaustive and other organisations are listed in the "Charities Digest" (published by The Family Welfare Association) and The Social Services Year Book (published by Longman's).  Both books should be available in your local Reference Library.

If the organisation you are looking for is no longer in existence or has amalgamated with another organisation the Reference Library or the Records Office of its local area may be able to help you find some information.

Hi Migky....Would you be so kind as to copy & paste & add the above and also the contacts from the other entry to a reply on the Home Children Resources child board...here's the link:

Thanks much as I'm sure it will be appreciated now that you've done the legwork to find these...

Hi, Karen!!!
I think you are ALL wonderful!!!
Just checking something else out that's caught my eye...be back with some questions for you from another query...J.J.

[J.J.]

Was just looking through the queries for home children to add to the list and saw one whom I thought was adopted by a "Sharmon" family...but he was just working for them... Just a coincidence on the similar sounding name, I guess...I had wondered if there might be a connection to the name Sharman above...

Hi Folks,

I've solved the mystery of the cattlemen, they were escorting livestock across the Atlantic!

Cheers,

A quick update.....

I've just had a reply from the Together Trust.

Denis and Mark weren't in any of the homes run by the Manchester and Salford Boys and Girls Refuges.They didn't send children to Montreal.

The Salford Catholic Protection and Rescue Society, that Rev. Rossall was involved with, were a seperate organisation.

So, back to the drawing board!

Genealogy eh?, don't you just love it?!!

Will keep you posted if I get any further info.

Cheers,

Mick

Just found this...I hope it is still valid? Let us know if it is and I'll add it to the British home children resources sub-board...
