Jeniene, It might be worth researching via current organisations. My father was placed in a home, 30 years after you are looking, but the home has since come under the Children's Society. (They were able to find my father's records in the archives, even though the file was closed in 1913. ) It is worth a try. My father's children's home was in Kent too. Hope you have success! |
