It is called Hidden Lives Revealed. hiddenlives.org.uk Give it a try. It is very sad in places, all about orphanages of the last 2 centuries. You can read actual case notes and see loads of photos.

Stella, I agree!! Thanks for mentioning this. So much information there. The case notes with the images of correspondence is particularly interesting. I think this will be a very useful site for anyone who had relatives in children's homes. Di
