Hi KiwiJane

The  1911 Census can be accessed at http://www.1911census.co.uk/

I think the information for the Orphanage has  been added recently as I did  not find these two children when I first searched the census.

By searching online I have found general information about the orphanage.  Seems many boys entered the R.N. after they left. My great uncle entered the R.N. at the age of 16 and was killed in the First World War.

Hi,

I think you are correct Wendy that the records have only just been put on the 1911 census, as I couldn't find 3 children originally; the other 4 were living with their mother in Hull, their father sadly died in 1908.

I have now found the other 3 children, one is definitely in the Orphanage and the other 2 are listed in an institution, which I presume will be the same Orphanage - have run out of credits at the moment to be sure!

Cannot wait for Hull Archives to reopen in September!

This is an interesting story about one hull boy's experience of life in the Sailors' Orphanage more commonly known as Newland Homes:

Thanks for this link Carol, the story is fascinating, I've saved it to my favourites to read properly when I have more time.  It helped me imagine the life my g.uncle must have led there, before he too left at 14.

I am also researching the Hull Seaman's and General Orphan Asylum on Spring Bank, Kingston upon Hull.  I have two 'ancients' who are listed in the 1891 census and who were sent there after their father died in 1890.  He was a First Officer on the SS Sea Horse.
I am looking for photo's of either the orphanage or the SS Sea Horse.
Could anyone advise me how to find records from the Orphanage?
Thank you

Hi JMC

I got the information about my g.uncle who was in Newlands Orphanage, from the Hull Archives.  The staff there were very helpful and I contacted them by e-mail.  However, as Kim said in her posting on 24 June 2009:

Quote
I responded to a survey at Hull Archives a few weeks ago and said that I was very interested in seeing the new centre because I wanted to see if there were any records for Newlands Orphanage and got an e-mail reply saying:
"We’re really looking forward to the opening as well, and the Newland Orphanage records are certainly one of the many collections that we will be improving access to in the new place."

it looks as though you will have to wait until the archives re-opens, which is supposed to be Autumn 2009.

Heard yesterday from a usually reliable source that the opening has been delayed, so we might have to twiddle our thumbs for a bit longer.  Sad

Hi JMC and all with interests in the Hull orphanage/s.
JMC I  found the SS Sea Horse, she's included  in a book "A ships in Focus Fleet History' compiled by Arthur Credland (Curator of Hull Town Docks Museum) and Richard Greenwood. No photo unfortunately, but I copied the details for you:
Iron schooner-rigged steamer. O.N. 56135  Launched 1867 by Tod & McGregor, Glasgow, 60HP. 1868 Registered in the ownership of the Countess of Cardigan, Deane Park, Northamptonshire as SEA HORSE. 1873 sold to Sir Henry Edwards, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. 28/3/1881 Registered in the ownership of Walter S Bailey, Hull. 1883 sold to Prince di Sirignano, Parigi, Italy and renamed RONDINE. 1892 Omitted from Lloyds Register of yachts.
Like everyone hoping to get more info on the orphanage/s when the archives are opened. Regards KiwiJane

Further to what has been said above regarding the opening of the new site.

I drove by the site near what I remember as Charlotte Street Mews (I don't get up there often) and it looks as though the building is still a long way from completion. Then the internal fitting out will have to be done not to mention the records being moved.

I know these things come together very quickly but I can't see it being in the near future.

cheers

I have just found a copy of a postcard that I have of the General Orphanage and Asylum...I had forgotten about it and came across tonight......it is subject to copyright so I can't post it here but if anyone would like to send me a P.M. I will happily email it to them...It does have a faint watermark but it doesn't detract from the postcard.
