Hello Everyone, Are there any records available for orphananges in Bristol? Looking for an, Amelia Greening, who was born in London in 1838. Her mother died in childbirth and apparently Amelia grew up in an orphanage in Bristol. Her father's name is unknown, but was a watchmaker by occupation. In 1857, Amelia, giving her age as 21, emigrated to Australia. My thanks for assistance. Regards, Marina New Zealand

Hi There are two main possibilities that occur to me:- Muller Orphanages which opened in 1836 - the records are held by the Muller Foundation - see http://www.mullers.org/cm/ The 'Blue Maids' Orphanage - around from the late 1700's - their records are now with the Bristol Records Office - including the admissions and leavers books http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/leisure-and-culture/records-and-archives Regards Dave --- Original Message ----- From: "Borlands" <theborlands@woosh.co.nz> To: <BRISTOL_AND_DISTRICT@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 8:23 PM Subject: [B&D] Orphans and Orphanages in Bristol > Hello Everyone, > > Are there any records available for orphananges in Bristol? > > Looking for an, Amelia Greening, who was born in London in 1838.
