Title: Childrens Home 1881 - 120 Nolton Street Bridgen
Post by: joanneknight68 on Thursday 18 August 11 21:55 BST (UK)
I have been trying to track down the detail behind my G Grandmother and G Aunts whereabouts at the time of the 1881 Census.

The are recorded as being at 120-121 'Homes' Nolton Street Bridgend.

I know their mother died prematurely in 1873, so it is possible that they ended up is some kind of institution.   Please could some help me solve this riddle. ???

Many thanks

Jo :)
