Receiving Home around Christchurch in 1905
« on: Wednesday 16 July 14 19:09 BST (UK) »
Hi - my grandmother was born in Aug 1905 to an unwed mother.  It is my understanding she may have spent some time in a receiving home between 1905 and 1910.

Could anyone advise whether it is possible to track those kinds of records down?
Thanks for any assistance.
Regards, Carol

There are a number of articles about various Receiving Homes in the 'Press' [Christchurch] which may be helpful and of interest...........
