Bee You are of course correct  I should have said Hawthorne Street, don't know where I thought of Wheeler St as, as you said, it's off Anlaby Road! At first I thought that was where the other tram shed was, but that was , I think, next to Liverpool St. Early 40's and my mind's gone already  Ian
My mind obviously has pushed off somewhere else. My mum and dad, who still live in Hull, have just pointed out the tramsheds were next to Haworth Street not Hawthorne! but I always did mix those two up.
On a brighter note, I've just received an excellent e-mail from Hull City Archives. They looked up my Grandad's records and have not only sent me details of him but of his two elder siblings' entry into the orphanage as well. 
As people have already said, they are very helpful and pleasant, a big thank you to them.
Ian

Hi
I read the posts on the seamans orphanages with interest as my grandfather was listed as being resident at Newlands, along with his 2 brothers, on the 1911 census.
Lizzie W - would you be able to send me copies of the photos that you have of Newlands please? I would be very grateful.
I also wonder if anyone can help me with a bit of a mystery relating to this - my great grandfather was a mariner but I can't find any record of his death but presumably he must have died before 1911. The 3 boys mother (great grandmother) was still alive in 1911 and recorded on the census as being a housekeeper in Goole (where the family had resided previously). Would the boys have been at the orpahange because she couldn't afford to care for them when her husband died?
Also, does anyone know if archives relating to Newlands are at Hull Archives, although I live quite a way from Hull it would be worth the trip if I could find out more about exactly why and when my grandfather was there.
Any help and/or advice very gratefully recieved.
Kim

I have been reading these posts with great interest because my friends', father and siblings
were in a seamans orphanage in Hull, probably between August, 1922 and July, 1926.
I get the idea from the posts that there was only one orphanage but that it's name and location changed, is that right?
Carol, I am particularly interested in the books that you mention, one of which has the list of children for each year.
Am I getting the wrong end of the stick from the web site, in thinking that the library is closed while they build a new one?
Thanks,
Elin

here you go Elin:
The Sailors’ Families Society (DSSF)
The Port of Hull Society for the Religious Instruction of Sailors, as it was originally known, was founded in 1821. They established their first residential home on Castle Row in 1863. A new home was opened on Park Street in 1867. Eventually the Society purchased some land on Cottingham Road to create a ‘Cottage Home Colony’ known as Newland Homes which opened in 1895. The Society has undergone several name changes over the last two centuries which reflect their varied work with both children and adults who have connections to the sea. It is worth noting that children admitted to the homes came from ports all over the north east coast, not just from Hull.
The records of the Society, including entry and exit documentation relating to the many thousands of children who passed through the homes, are held at Hull City Archives (DSSF).
The Sailors’ Families’ Society (link opens in a new window) still exists. Their work is now confined to supporting families of seafarers within their own homes throughout the United Kingdom.
Seamen’s and General Orphanage (DSHO)
The Hull Seamen’s and General Orphanage opened on Spring Bank in 1866. The orphanage moved to Hesslewood Hall in 1921, on land granted by the Wilson family (of the Ellerman-Wilson Line), and finally closed in 1985. The Sailor’s Orphan Society that ran the homes was founded in 1853. Their records, including entry and exit documentation relating to the children who passed through the homes, are held at Hull City Archives (DSHO).
The Central Library in Hull will have copies of the books: DSHO
