Sorry memory not good, and I don't remember her, good luck with your search I am sure that it will mean a lot to her if she does get in contact with your mum, maybe your mum may get permission to put a note in her files in case she looks at them in time, worth asking who ever she was fostered with...

Hi Carol thanks for replying I hope we do find her my mum would have liked to have kept her but they were trying to get her back with her mum so they put her in Todwick grange we visited her for a while but were told to stop visiting as it was confusing for her so it would be nice to hear from her and hopefully everything turned out for the best and also my mum has photos of her when she was young and if she doesnt have photos of herself at that age my mum would like her to have them.

Hi Pete Sabrina was a good friend of mine from school, she was living with her granny, started seeing a boy and ran away from home with him, her granny decided she couldn't cope anymore and Sabrina ended up at Todwick, I used to phone her while she was there, but for some reason we lost touch. The article in the Star you mention, Sabrinas brother killed her husband. I also read in the Star a few years after that Sabrina had died in a house fire! She was a skinny pretty girl who sadly didn't have much of a life. She never talked about her life before she went to live with her granny. How long was she at Todwick for did she seem happy there! Thanks Penny

Hello

 

I am looking for people who were in Todwick Grange from 1970-1979 when I was there. I remember Mr Hillman and Mr Tankard! I also know a lot of the other staffs names, for example the Head one was Joyce Parratt. I also remember Harry Bower.

 

My real name is Benita but some people may remember me as Bonnie. I am genuinely looking for my past Todwick friends and staff as I have lost contact since I left there and have been searching for 5 years.

 

Please send me a message if you remember me or know where I can get in contact with anybody else.

 

Thank you

 

Benita/Bonnie
