Hi Eileen, I have found mention of an Orphanage at Christ Christ in Claughton, Wirral - but it looks as if this may have closed as there doesn't seem to be anything current on the internet about it. However, Barnardo Homes are still on the Wirral and they do tend to collect all the records of Orphanges etc - might be worth asking them about it.
