Fulwood Cottage Children's home/orphanage.

[thursday 10]

Does anyone know of a children's home or orphanage in Nethergreen?

I was there in the late '40s-early '50s, but can't remember what it was called!

Thanks, Thursday.

Hello Peterdo,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm a complete nitwit on the computer: what is "the thread" and how do I do it?

Yours, hopefully, Thursday.

Dearest Peterdo!!!

You are a genius - even I could follow your instructions, though I was a bit daunted to see that there were 177 pages!

Yes, I found the section (thread?) you had in mind, and wrote down all the possibilities there. I'll type them into Google (one at a time - I do know that much!) and see what is thrown up. Then I got so fascinated by all the different threads(?) that I've spent the last two hours reading them all.

I didn't know there were such things on a computer! Maybe they're not such terrible things after all!

Thankyou again, Thursday xxx

Hi Thursday my mum was in the fulwood cottage homes 1940 she had many brothers and sisters who were lost during the time she spent there I have found two of her brothers and I am looking for her sisters now, one of who is a twin.

There is also a bookletFor "The Love Of Children" a story about the poor children of sheffield and fulwood cottage homes

Dear Hazel, Thankyou for your response: several people have made suggestions and it looks as though it was the Fullwood Cottage Homes that I was in. You say "remember" it: can I ask what and how?Yours, Thursday.
