Thank you. I have only just seen all the great input as we have all been asleep here in New Zealand. I will be following up as soon as I am able. Sadly cannot get to Matlock from New Zealand but they MAY just help me online at the Records Office. |

Thank you for the suggestion jjl. I am crossing fingers for Tuesday - as it would tie up all the family stories very nicely - but I will certainly look out for the Masonics. |

Thank you all for your input - things are a little clearer on railway orphanages - think I will have to take a look at both Derby and Chester Record Offices to find out where they were sent to... just need to find the time to do so (and the money for the train fares!!!)... that is probably all too familiar with everyone right now... |

The most likely "Railway Orphanage" would be St. Christopher's (its official name), located in Derby. |

Just for info - my great-grandfather was Richard Macham and was a railway platelayer. |

Yes I have their location in 1901.... They were both in Wolverhampton at this time - as they were upon my great-grandfather's death in 1916. |
