Leicestershire / The Boys Home, Leicester - Help finding records
« on: Friday 15 April 16 11:29 BST (UK) »
Hi
Has anyone every come across The Boys Home, Stoneygate Grove, Avenue Road Leicester records for adults staying there rather than children?
My disappearing great grandmother gave this as her address in December 1912 and when i enquired with the children society they had no file for my grandpa, who should of been with her at the time. I do wonder if she came there with a new child (as she had come from a maternity home in London) but after this address she next appears in Blackpool!
and she had left my grandpa with a lady in Leicester.. no idea if this was an adoption or more likely just an arrangement... she never came back for him
Any help would be gratefully accepted
