Does anyone know of an orphanage where London children were placed.  My Dad was placed in an orphanage as a toddler, I found he was a boarder in the 1901 census, he never saw his parents again.  I learned from a programme on the radio a few years back that the Cottage Homes were started by people taking children into their homes and then it was expanded into the Cottage Homes.  My Dad always thought his orphanage was in Greenwich where he was born but I cannot trace any information on any.  Does anyone have information where he might have been.  One person who knew a lot of history about Greenwich thought he might have been put in an orphanage in Epsom for Children of the Workhouse.
