Hi Flyer, I was in FCH #6 for around 12 years. I remember all the 3 brothers. There was Ronnie, Derek and then Earnest. Earnest married my half sister Sandra. I saw him in town centre about 3 weeks ago, he's doing well. There were 3 of us Kershaws, Barry was in #2, Gordon in #3 and i was in #6. Hope that helps, Brian.

 

I'm a little surprised that you didn't directly respond to my post that asked specifically if anyone knew the whereabouts of Ernest Hill. You apparently do. I'd love to make contact with him after all of these years. Do you have his address ...email or otherwise? Alternatively, could you let him know that I was asking about him?

 

Thanks.

Hello Brian

My sisters were Beryl and marian both older than me and went into 16.

When Beryl left and got married she went back as a housemother with her husband after I left . Beryl and Tony Harrison.

I worked with my son on the Sheffield tram construction and he said that he had spoken to a Derek Hill who had been in the homes and knew me.

I went to look for him on the Penistone road section but had no luck as there was a lot going off at that time.

When I left the homes I was sent to the farm training centre at Mappleton for 3 months and then they took me to the Vesty estate on the yorkshire wolds.

 

How about you?

I'm currently trying to trace my fathers long lost brother born Frederick Taylor in 1944 - he was in FCH from a very early age , would be great if anyone knew him or had memories of him
