Pete How old were they at the time? Do you know who their parents were? Were they ever fostered or adopted? If you search the 1901 census you nay get more information on them. Try contacting the social services in the Radcliffe area (I think that would be Bury) and they may have records of the orphanges around at the time. Hope this helps. Lynne
