Carlisle orphanage?
« on: Friday 09 September 05 10:03 BST (UK) »

hi,
looking for information on my grandmother Gladys May Musgrove/Musgrave. Family tittle tattle has it that she was born in an orphanage in the Carlisle area. He mother had a fling with the owner of a large biscuit factory and was shoved in a home/orphanage when found to be with child.
this would have been around 1900. Gladys later joined the forces and married a Thomas Wainwright and settled in Newcastle-u-Lyme

Hi
The famous biscuit factory still exists now "McVitties" but was owned by the equally famous "Carr", family who owned a large part of Carlisle, and probably still do. Has to be loads of history in that family.
With regards the orphanage I am sure there were several or more in those days. But again one the famous/infamous was what is now the Austain Friars school, I believe back in the good old days it was run by nuns and priests who were quite cruel to the kids and used to ship them off to different parts of the world. The impressive four story building still exists on the top of a hill at St Anne's Carlisle.

If you haven't already tracked it down try "Rich Desserts & Captain Thins" by Margaret Foster

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0099748916/026-8874202-9782844

she is a Carlisle born author with an interest in family history and this is all about the Carr family.

Also worth a look re Carlisle history is "Hidden Lives" - her autobiography that compares her life with her mother and grandmother growing up in Carlisle. It was this book that started my interest in family history.....
