  I'll put this into context:

My gtgrandad William CHAMPION (b 1882, Horsham) was a brickie, who lived in Eltham 1901/2, Croydon 1903-1907/8.  At the end of 1908 or in 1909, he 'disappeared'.  The story is that he left (some say for South Africa) with another woman 

In any event, my gt grandmother, Amelia Jane, nee TYE, and her children (below) ended up in Horsham Workhouse in 1911.  At some point, the children went to a Catholic orphanage in Orpington.

The youngest child, Elsie, is shown in the 1911 Census as being born in Christchurch, (b reg JQ 1909).  At this time there were no known relatives in Christchurch.  Hence I am speculating that Amelia was in Christchurch for another reason.......

The children were:  William (1902, Eltham);  John (MQ1904, Croydon); Leslie (MQ1906, Croydon);  Lilian (JQ 1907, Croydon);  Elsie Emily (JQ 1909, Christchurch)


Thanks,

Timoth

Could that be the parish of Christ Church, Eltham? It is a Catholic Parish and you say the family went into the Catholic orphange at Orpington of which there were two.

Hi Hackstaple -
Christchurch, Hants referenced as Birth registration district and as place of birth in 1911 census.  Eltham is where the family lodged circa 1901-1902.  I believe the missing William and Amelia were married at Holy Trinity in Eltham.

I believe the orphanage is one body comprising two single sex units: St. Anne's orphanage (girls) and St. Joseph's (boys)..... Is that correct?

I'm hoping this could lead to some information regarding the family line... 'Leslie' in this list was my paternal grandfather - Leslie Joseph Champion I believe :-)

Hoping you will be able to see this and get back to me :-)
