Dear Lavender,

Thanks for your response about FCH.

It was pretty grim: I remember being smacked (beaten?) an awful lot, and I think we were nearly always hungry, although that could be partly down to the "big ones" who grabbed the lion's share.

If you're interested, I could tell you more about it.

Yours, Thursday.

My FATHER ROBERT THOMPSON WAS IN FULLWOOD COTTAGE HOMES FROM 1937 UNTIL AROUND1950 HE IS NOW 71 YEARS OLD AND LIVES IN AUSTRALIA.

HE LIVED IN COTTAGE #5.

I WENT BACK THERE IN 1998 FOR HIM TO SEE IF IT WAS STILL STANDING AND I TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES AND THE PERSON THAT NOW LIVES IN #5 GAVE ME A BOOK THAT WAS WRITTEN ABOUT THE HOMES.

I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET MY FATHERS RECORDS FROM WHEN HE WAS IN THERE AND IM WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME.

Hello Flyer,

I have just spoken with my dad and he so happy that he may finally get some answers about his mother and why he was placed in the home at such a young age.

i don't know to much about chat rooms and how it all works but i seem to be doing okay so far.
