They may have been placed in a workhouse or orphanage. Can anyone please tell me where I can get a list of all the Orphanages in Birmingham during this time with a list of all their inmates. Thank you Julie

Also the census's will say inmates on them. Some of my family died in the workhouses,its so sad. I hope this has helped good luck.
