My Mum and her four siblings were orphaned when first her mother died giving birth to the youngest and two years later as a result of an accident their Father was drowned in the docks. Mum and one Brother went into Banardos and according to Barnados records two other went into homes for the children of Railway Workers in Hull. However the record does not give the name and in my searches from here in New Zealand I can find nothing. Can anybody help with this information which would be from around the mid 1920's. Thank you, Roger |

Roger...It may have been "The Railway Servants Orphanage" which was actually in Derby but check it out on a search engine....as there may have been one also in Hull by the 1920s....The one in Derby certainly had children residing there who were born in Hull |

Railway 'children' were also taken to Webb House, Crewe from all over. |
