The Common Room / Orphanages/Children's homes in London?
« on: Saturday 09 June 18 14:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've recently discovered that my nan had a half brother the family knew nothing about.
He was born in Fulham in 1916 and as this was pre adoption time I suppose he would have been given over to a children's home?
Does anyone know how I can find out where any local homes in that time would have been? And also how to go about tracing who was accepted into one?
Thank you

The Common Room / What am I doing wrong?
« on: Saturday 25 February 17 23:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I just registered this evening so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area or something equally stupid   :)

I am trying to find out any information about my nan's father.  My nan is 95 in May and in frail health so I would love to be able to tell her anything concrete I can find on him .... and soon.
Nan has no memory of him and story has it he simply walked out and no one spoke of him after that.

All I really have on him for certain is that he married my nan's mum in 1917 aged 24, so I assume was born in or around 1893 ... from the wedding certificate I have his name and his father's name....and thats' STILL the only proof I have that he ever existed.  I've searched all the records I can think of (Ancestry.co.uk) but cannot find him being born or dying, quite a trick!

Any tips gratefully received, thank you

TamlaDawn.
