Hi.
   The most useful records are held in PRONI ie admittance, discharge, master's log book and minutes of guardians. meetings. Some are held locally ie records of girls who went to Australia under the Earl Grey scheme. To get information on these you would have to contact LCDI, Roe Valley Hospital, Limavady Co. Londonderry.
