I forgot to say that I have a book entitled "Postcards Of Hull" by Kennth F. Elsom which has two postcards of "The Sailors' Orphan Homes ...I can scan them and forward to anyone who would like them if you P.M. your email address....One is of the carnival in 1923 the other is undated.. it looks to be taken around 1900-1905
There are currently two volumes for auction on ebay :D

Hi

I read the posts on the seamans orphanages with interest as my grandfather was listed as being resident at Newlands, along with his 2 brothers, on the 1911 census.

Lizzie W - would you be able to send me copies of the photos that you have of Newlands please? I would be very grateful.

I also wonder if anyone can help me with a bit of a mystery relating to this - my great grandfather was a mariner but I can't find any record of his death but presumably he must have died before 1911. The 3 boys mother (great grandmother) was still alive in 1911 and recorded on the census as being a housekeeper in Goole (where the family had resided previously). Would the boys have been at the orpahange because she couldn't afford to care for them when her husband died?

Also, does anyone know if archives relating to Newlands are at Hull Archives, although I live quite a way from Hull it would be worth the trip if I could find out more about exactly why and when my grandfather was there.

Any help and/or advice very gratefully recieved.

I have been reading these posts with great interest because my friends', father and siblings
were in a seamans orphanage in Hull, probably between August, 1922 and July, 1926.

I get the idea from the posts that there was only  one orphanage but that it's name and location changed, is that right?

Carol, I am particularly interested in  the books that you mention, one of which has the list of children for each year. 

Am I getting the wrong end of the stick from the web site, in thinking that the library is closed while they build a new one?

Thanks,

Elin :)

I think there were two orphanages with different names, but someone from Hull will know for sure.

Thank you, Lizzie.  I would be grateful if anyone could help. Maybe I misunderstood. ::)
