Sue Hope this message is directed to you but to others in the same situation too. Recently I was told by two or our members on list that Muller Orphan House, Ashley Down, Bristol, England, owned and operated by a George Muller took in children whose families no longer could care for them. Long and short, I was able to trace four of my grandparents siblings and my grandfather by contacting them. It was quite a story and for 50L I was able to obtain the whole file on all of them including the death certificates of my great grandparents which were FULL of information and birth certificates of all the children. There was also medical records on each child as well as a continuum of where they went after being released at the appropriate age. It is certainly worth a try. Your contact person would be WENDY at Muller Orphan House. You might have to do a google on it. Good luck, Susan (if you need more help please don't hesitate to contact me directly) Message: 2 Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:33:56 +0000 From: Sue Hope <s3_hope@hotmail.co.uk> Subject: [LEI] Being fostered To: <leicestershire-plus@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <BAY124-W49EA02A5960AE8C71FBA389F350@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Can anybody tell me please where I should go to look (i.e. websites) for the official details of 2 brothers and their sister being fostered - names all known etc. Their parents went looking for work and never returned to the village for them - they were believed to have been murdered. The children were then fostered by the widow of a local gamekeeper. In 1891 census they were with their parents and in the 1901 one were being fostered.
