Hi Jaymac.

Welcome to Rootschat.

I'm sure someone locak could help you more, but this is a link to a reply on another mailing list which refers to the home.

A group of children from the home are emigrating to Canada under the Home Children Scheme.  The Catholic Emigration Assi=ociation are mentioned.  This was early 19C, but I can't see either mentioned by 1965 in a National Catholic Directory.

I hope you find more.  Keep asking.  Rootschatters will allways try to help or point you to someone who can.

Best wishes

Emms

Hi again Jaymac

I put "Father Berry's Home" into the search facility on the National Archives site and the these were the two main results.  Both are to parts of the catalogue at Merseyside Record Office, so it sounds as if they are the people to approach.  It might be worth an email to them.

Fr Berry's (Arthur Chilton Thomas) Homes, their magazines, Bazaars, emigrations etc , are mentioned.  Not sure about admissions but minutes books etc.  I would send Merseyside record Office an Email or even ring them up initially, I think.

This link gives the contact addresses and numbers, opening times etc for Merseyside Archives.

I really hope they can help.  Let us know if we can help any more, or pm me.

Best wishes

My mum says it was on Shaw Street. She seems to think it was a home for teenage boys who were taught a trade.
