Orphans
« on: Sunday 01 November 09 18:43 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone know of any way to trace the records of orphans around 1911-1920 especially those belonging to Orphanage Church Extension Association Victoria Orphanage, Maida Vale, Paddington area? It appears the orphanage was for young children as the oldest was four.
Have tried Westminster archives no records.
Adoption archives Westminster nothing to do with them.
Still to try Paddington library but not hopeful.
Orphanage was run by Mother Superior so possibly Roman catholic.
  Thanks Jubed

Hi

From Googling (always to be recommended) 'Church Extension Association' you get the 'Community of the Sisters of the Church'

'The order was founded by Mother Emily Ackbowm in 1870 as the Church Extension Association'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_the_Sisters_of_the_Church

The order is Anglican

and they have an Archivist
