YOUR'E ALL GREAT PEOPLE

Looks like my grandmothers family is coming together with the help of you all.
Choccy if he Samuel died in 1881 why was he named on my grandmothers birth cert in 1885?
Vera Sounds like the children were all sent to a home of sorts - how sad.
I can put Bessie in the picture now & search for where she spent her childhood.
Thankyou everybody for your contributions dont know why whoever it was deleted his info about Jessie's marriage though.

The Kensington and Chelsea District School/ Cottage Homes was in Fir Tree Road Banstead on the North Downs in Surrey. The London Metropolitan Archives hold many records for the children who resided at the school as well as some entry registers. Some children spent 15 years or more in the school. The local history group (Banstead History Research Group) published a 100-page book on the history of the school, in Dec 2010. Just search for 'BHRG' to find their website.
