Hi Maureen, Yes i'm still about, what is it your trying to find.

I'm not sure now if Connie was in in No19 house but it's many many

years ago. Did i ever tell you i knew Connie's brother Ronald Bolton

he was in No2 house.

Just come to me there was a Michael he was in No6 house with me

and the other brother was Kenneth Bolton he was in No3.

Your's Brian.

Hi Brian,Im just generally interested in what life in Fulwood was like for her and her brothers, by the way Ronald is still with us but not in the best of health.Ken is also still around though the last time I saw him was at mums funeral.The other brothers at Fulwood were Leslie and Terry.Ive recently discovered Thornseat Lodge which was where I believe Ronald and Leslie were transferred to.I visited Thornseat Lodge over the weekend and was amazed at how run down and derelict it was.Im guessing life must have been really tough for you all as children.

regards Maureen

Hi Maureen, Sorry i got the boys house mixed up, will try again.

Terry Bolton was in No2 house as with my brother, Kenneth was in No3,

and Ronnie was in No6 as i was.

Was it Terry that had fits. i might be able to send you a couple of

pic with Terry on. PS, Would your Ronnie remember me and by

name. Yours Brian.

hi Brian,I have sent a text message to Ron asking if he recalls you.I will let you know if he responds.Terry did used to suffer from epilepsy & I recall him having some major fits.Ron came to live with us after leaving Fulwood & stayed until he got married.I would love to see any photos you may have.I remember my mum telling me how awful things were at home for her and her brothers prior to going into Fulwood.Its heartbreaking to think of such young children being taken from home and then separated from siblings.Do you remember her other brother Leslie?he is a little older than Ron.There were 5 of them altogether.

Still waiting for Ron to get back to me.Will be sure to let you know when he does.Hopefully this should now count as my fifth post so should be able to private message now(fingers crossed).

I can't believe i miss putting your two brothers on the list but i knew

them well, your Kenneth went to Hunter Bar School with me.

Lets know if you looked on that list of name. Yours Brian.
