Martin Report 24 Jul 2014 12:59

My gr Aunt Ethel May Pomeroy appears as a resident ot the St Christophers Railway Orphanage, Derby in the 1901 Census aged 10. I would like to find out when she was admitted to the Orphanage. It was probably in about 1895. I believe that there are some CDs with this information in existence. Does anyone have access to a CD or where could I purchase one?
Thanks in advance

Ann,

As Martin posted his message 9 hours ago, and is not new to the boards, he is capable of checking in tomorrow to look for any answers, surely?

As he is posting from South Africa he is probably an hour in front of us...

Added:
Sorry, poster has been a day or so away.
However, he is not new to the boards so surely it is his choice whether he returns immediately.
He is actually asking about a CD with records on admittance

Hello All
Thank you so much for your responses. Sorry for the delay in replying. I've had problems with my broadband provider for the past few days. Thank you Gins for the link to Derek's thread. He has been most helpful and has offered to do a lookup for me when he next visits the Derbyshire Records Office in Matlock.

You GR Members have once again been most helpful
Best Wishes
Martin
