Hi,
I was very excited to receive your message. My father was George Edgar he was one of four children born to Ada Taylor and Benjamin Fearnall. His brothers and sisters were Edith Mary, Elsie May and Gerald John, they also had half brothers and sisters because Ada was married twice. Ada died quite early 1n 1933. I had found out that Ada had lots of brothers and sisters; Fanny, I believe married James Jelfs in 1898 and had children, Edith so my aunt told me, went to live in Canada along with Thomas Taylor. Thomas, so I was told had a daughter Mollie who was brought up by Ellen Taylor (her Grandma). At first I thought this was Helen Mary however she was born in Bolton and I am unsure who her parents were? (I was going to send off for her birth certificate to find out).  I have looked at a few passenger lists that left England for Canada but have been unsuccessful. I have traced Ada's brothers Thomas and John up to the first World War but that's as far as I have got. Can I ask, are you related to Fanny or Edith or one of Ada's brothers? have you got any further information? I would be very grateful if you could let me know :)
best wishes

Hi, many thanks for the advice. Yes, he would of been about 6 years old as he was looked after by neighbours following his mothers death in 1933. Then the children were split up and off he went to Liverpool. All I have been told it was liverpool but unfortunately they didn't know anything else about area. I will persevere with it, if I went to the Liverpool records office would I find anything there, I wonder? Thank you anyway :)

Thank you for your reply  :). I have checked with other family members and they say the 3 children were split up. One went to Birmingham, one to Hereford and my late father went to Liverpool. I find it hard to believe and distressing to be honest :'(. The family member feels sure he went to a children's home, no family as far as we know in Liverpool. Many thanks for your help.

 My late father was sent to Liverpool after his mothers death in 1933, I presume he went to live in a childrens home, he then returned to shropshire in 1945. I was wondering if anyone could help me find out his whereabouts between these dates please? I have been unable to find any information myself. His name was George Edgar Fearnall.  :)

Hi, I am new to this! I am looking to fill a gap? Does anyone know how to find out anything about childrens homes in the 1930's? After the death of his mother my late father was sent to Liverpool, he would of been about 7 years old when he went and he returned when he was about 18. His name was George Edgar Fearnall. Any advice on filling this gap would be great. :)

Hello, I don't know if this is relevant but my paternal grandmother was Ada Taylor from Farmcote near claverley and her first husband was Leonard J Winwood. They married in Kidderminster in 1911 and had 3 children before he died in a train crash between 1914 and 1918. Any further information on any of this would be very much appreciated. My grandmother (Ada Taylor) returned to Bridgnorth and went on to marry Benjamin Fearnall, my Grandfather.
