Joseph Freeman Henry's birth was registerd in June 1/4  1913-S. Shieds-Jarrow Sub District. He spent all his young life, with a brother,  in a children's home. Can anyone tell me which homes existed in 1913 please?
Is it possble that records might have survived?  Joe died in Canada n 1978.
Mother's name `Thakra`- possibly Thackeray or simiar.
Thank you for any help and/or advice.
