Hi flyer

I am wilfred unwin and I was the in 39 to 46 and David was my brother Yes david was in 3 and I was in 7 and 1

The mother in 7 was Miss Feilds and the mother in1 was a miss Edge both was wicked David passed away last year and we had just found each other for the first time since I left the homes to go into the merchant navy I did go back to the homes just before David died and we went into number 5 to look aroun and it brought shivers down my spine and they told us that the belt of green between the boys and the girls homes can not be touched as it is a memoriel to all the children that had been in there I dint think any one was left when I was in there:thumbsup:

best regards W UNWIN

My Grandmother grew up in FCH ..sadly she's passed away now:( ..so im not sure on dates ..she was there with her sister and brothers..her name was Daisy Williams if anyone remembers her ...she worked most of her life at bassets where her nickname was Daz.

Hi Ms Tetley

 

Can you tell us any more details about your grandma - do you know roughly when she would have been there or her DOB, which would help date her?

 

There are a few threads now on FCH - we really should get them unified to make it easier to look for info and for people to talk.

 

Best wishes
