I have dicovered that one of my ancestors on my Dad's side came from a Barnardo's home. No-one, so far, has been able to find out anything about where he came from etc. Is there anywhere I can look for information on him? Many thanks to anyone who has any ideas Lynne

Lynne, wanted this info myself because i heard my grandad was a Barnardos child.The reply i got was from [email protected]. There is a non refundable fee of £20,it takes anywhere between 6-9 months for enquiry and if they find anything the full history package is £30. Good Luck.

I emailed them using the adreess on the site and they emailed me back after a few days, saying that they could not find any records in either Barnardos or related homes. Good luck with it. I was looking for Smiths...always a great challenge! Regards JA
