Hi Geoff,

I am not sure which home I was in I think it was Ingledene as I just saw a post from a lady I remembered named Sharon like me, If I go and look at the homes in the area I am sure I would remember especially by seeing the inside. The home I was in had a very lage staircase which we were not allowed to use we had to use the back stairs. I am sorry I do not have any info on your sister, but I found my parents by going to the Town Hall and asking for a copy of my original Birth Certificate, maybe you could do the same for your sisters Birth Certificate, or at least yours that way you know who your parents were and how many children they had. They should be able to provide you with your records all I gave then was my adopted parents names and the date of birth and they found my records, they gave me all the court papers of my adoption and my original birth certificate and application which showed my birth mother and father and an address, from there it was easy I just went to the address and was directed to one of my Aunts house, who then called my real mum and we finally met. I was looking for the home I was in for other reasons, hope this helps you. you can reach me at ^(*).

Hi, I have just come across this post you did some years ago, I noticed you were asking about children's homes on Langham Rd Bowdon. My mum and dad were both social workers back then and they both worked for Cheshire social services. My dad along with another man ran Beachmount Children's home 10 Langham Road, my family lived in the annix to the side of the home. Beachmount was an assessment centre for children.
If you would like to know more please contact me through email, my email address is as follows.....
