On looking on the 1911 census, I see that my great grandmother, at the age of 63, and after bringing up a family of 10 , was House Mother at a Childrens Home at
28 Pelham Road,Ilford.Essex
I would like to find out more about this Home, and where I could look up records.
As I do not live in the district, it would have to be on the internet, or by post.
Any ideas?
