 watching with interest.  If Patrick was the father of Agnes and Eleanor, someone else would've placed them in the "school."

 Going on - or more accurately going back from Gillian's 1901 census info>>>>

 Marriage Registration 1890 Newcastle
 Patrick Fennelly>< Ellen Crowley

 I would guess that this was in a Roman Catholic church ? The civil and/or the church register will give names of the couple's fathers and with a bit of luck mothers as well.

If Agnes and Eleanor are  the daughters of Patricks daughter Agnes he would have been their grandfather,
if a baptism can be found that would be good ,other than that ,may I suggest you order your mums birth certificate,also do you have her marriage certificate in America,it may have a few more  details,did Eleanor also go to America ,

Good Morning Michael, I don't have my Mom's marriage certificate.  Yes, Eleanor came to America too, in 1952.  I ordered the birth certificates yesterday - I am excited about finding out information about my Mom.   It's sad that she felt so bad about her circumstances that she would never share it with us.  I have 3 sisters.
I will try to get the marriage certificate too.
Thanks so much,
Lois

I have searched around for the children's home and the only one I could find was St Josephs Industrial school for Catholic girls, Carmel Road Darlington Durham ,but it seems it was closed in 1926 and became a poor law school ,but I am sure Ambley may have some information on this school



Also the address given by Agnes that word Satinatorm I think that should be Heathfield Sanatorium Broad Oaks,?


There is a St Josephs care home run by the Little sisters of Mercy ,Westmorland Road Newcastle,I cant find anything that indicates it was originaly a childrens home,
but I am sure someone ,may know a little more than what I am picking up from browsing,

It says:
Last permanent residence: (Country) England, (State) Heathfield Broad Oak, (City or Town) Satinstorm Cottage.   Definitely not Sanatorium. 
It is a typed form from the airline. Broadoak is typed as one word, it is probably two.   The same with Satinstorm, it really may have been Satin Storm Cottage. 

Now that it seems possible that her mother was actually alive at the time, it makes the form more intriguing because:
Nearest relative in country whence came is: (mother) Mrs. Fennelly with the same address as above.

I think my aunt mentioned "Durham" but since St. Joseph's closed in 1926, it couldn't be that.

Thanks so much.
