	Hi Just wondered if anyone could answer a question for me. My nan according to my mum was put in a childrens home in Brighton when she was a young child. My nan married my grandad in 1943 in Woolwich Kent. Does anyone know of any Childrens homes in Brighton at that time. Thanks Tracie.

	If you have a look here:- http://www.hiddenlives.org.uk/homes/BRIGH01.html There is this one but it closed in 1921 so it depends on what year she was in the home. Kath. x

	Hi Kath Thanks for your reply. My nan who was thought to have gone to a childrens home was born in 1921 so I dont think she would of been in this one. Thanks again for your help Best wishes Tracie.
