Would the convent also be an orphanage? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 10:09 AM Subject: Re: [NYORANGE] Children's Homes 1880 > 1900 US, NY, Cortlandt, Peekskill, ED 59, sheet 1, 14 Jun 1900 > Teresa Cunningham, b Feb 1868, 32, b NY, parents b Ireland, teacher at St. > Joseph's Convent, > > The following person b in Westchester became a nun and was at several > Hospitals for children including St. Joseph's in Peeksill. > > Judy Ullman > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
This mention of childrens homes has set me thinking, always dangerous of course. I have "missing children" dating from a marriage of 1909 who disappear after 1919 and with talk of childrens homes I wonder if they could have been taken in at one of these homes. My family were living in Highland Falls when they broke up so apart from the High Street Home in Newburgh are their any other institutions in the area which might have taken them.As far as I can tell the family were Protestant and not Roman Catholic which might be a factor. If they are in these institutions then perhaps I might find them in the 1920 Census, when I get access to one. Thats a visit to the LDS FH center. So if anybody can give me any ideas/locations I would appreciate it. Regards Mike Greatorex Harrogate, England.
