You haven't told us their parents names.  Was it Richard & Rose?

1901 census for The Old House Hintlesham

Richard Garnham 26 ag labourer b Swilland
Rose  26 b Hintlesham
West S ?? 2 b Luddenham - he is the right age for Samuel but the image does say West/Wist
Albert R 1 b Whitton

Where did you get the info from that they were all taken into care whilst living in Claydon.  What year and did they continue to live in Claydon or were they taken to another district? - seems to have happened  post 1907 as John was b 1907

Richard Allan Garnham married Rose Emma Leeks in the December quarter 1897 Ipswich Volume 4A Page 1823

Hi Carol
Thank you so much for your time and reply. Long story..You see them on the 1901 census in Hintlesham, Parents are Richard Allan and Rosa Emma Garnham.  Rosa died in 1949, sent for cert and found she died in St Audry's Asylum. Melton. Got permission for medicals files to be opened as NOK, Grandaughter ( Mum, died 1974 told us nothing of this)  The children were shown as 6 and not 4 as my mum thought. The children are shown as Joe, (down as West but reg as Samuel)Albert, Arthur, Mary, going into care St John's Childrens Home. All dates October 1907...  I searched and now have the birth certs of 6 children, (Jessie and John) my mum being Mary...so dates and names are correct.  Children discharged in March 1908 to unknown home....I know that later Jessie was at same home as mum later.   Suffolk Records Office say no sign of Baptismal records in Tuddenham and Whitton, but are in creed book of St Johns as C of E.   Assuming all done together ? Claydon where my Mum and last two were born.

Hi

What a very sad story.  What happened to Richard?

Did you submit the info re: Jessie and Albert Richard to the IGI?

If not - somebody else is researching the family

[CaroleW]

Looking on the Genes Reunited website, there appears to be 5 different people researching Richard Garnham b 1874/75 Suffolk.  One entry by Ken specifically mentions Swilland

Was about to find their births on Ancestry for you - but notice that you have their birth certs.

What info are you hoping to find?
