Hi Adel
I’m desperately trying to find out what happened to my grandfather EDWARD RAYNER born 06/08/1898 in Hulme Manchester. Im doing this for my dad who’s in his 80s and was placed in an orphanage from birth in 1925 (Dr Rhodes home in the Chorlton Workhouse M/cr, then Styal Cottage Homes in 1930). Until very recently my dad knew nothing of his family but I have managed to trace his mother’s family (she died of TB aged 25) and also his father who never married his mother.
Edward RAYNER married Jennie Reeson in 1920 in Salford and they had 2 children in 1921 and 1922. It is rumoured that his wife Jennie then had a serious accident with a tram and had brain damage. Edward then had 3 children with my grandmother Clara Swain whilst unmarried (presumably because he was still married to Jennie) in 1923, 1925 & 1926. Their first child was given to grandparents to bring up, the second (my dad) was left in the Workhouse nursery and the third died aged 4mths. Then my grandmother died of TB aged 25.
We would so dearly like to know what happened to Edward Rayner after this time. I cant find a death for him using the usual internet searches and library and do not live in the M/cr area. I would also like to know where he is buried if at all possible. I would also like to know when Jennie died as I can’t find a death record for her in the name Rayner or Reeson although her son (now deceased) remembered being taken to a grave as a child in the M/cr or Salford area.
I know this is a very long shot but I’ve tried everything else and this is all very important to my dad.
Many thanks. Cathie Casper cathiecas@fsmail.net

At my Grandma's funeral I finally found out some info about her life but after 14 months of searching I'm still no further into finding out about her. Mildred Evelyn Gelson was born on July 21st 1922 at Warkworth House, Twickenham Road, Isleworth U.D. She was raised by nuns in an orphanage in Isleworth and later went into service for Lord Lichfield at Shugborough House, Staffordshire. Grandma married my Granddad in 1951 in South East Durham. If anyone has any information on where she was, why she moved or photos of her I'd be very grateful if you'd get in touch. We don't know very much at all about her life before she married granddad. Thanks, Jan jem2109@aol.com

Dear Adel,
I am trying to find out some information about my cousin, Peter Frederick Henry Chambers who died on the 6th October 1999 at Worthing hospital, Sussex. Peter was born on the 30th July 1931 in Fulham, London. He was a resident of "Hillrise", 16. Fitzalan Road, Littlehampton, West Sussex, BN17 5JR until his death. Over the years we lost contact, and I am trying to find out if anyone has any memories of him and also where was buried. I have visited the home, and someone remembered him. I wrote later for more information, but sadly they did not reply. As he is one missing link in my family tree, I would be grateful if you have any information on Peter. Especially any photographs. Further details: His father was my uncle Fred Chambers and I believe his mother (or step mother) was Ivy (nee Goode) Chambers.They are both now deceased, but did live in the Carshalton area of London. I also believe that Peter was a part-time fireman, but not sure in which area. Kind Regards EDWARD W. CHAMBERS ECham66039@aol.com My telephone number is 01 634 30 30 29

Hi Adel, I am trying to help a friend, which he has asked for. He lives in Brittany & I live in Stoke-on-Trent. During his childhood he was an orphan at a place called the Little Cottage orphanage, in Penkhull Stoke-on-Trent. Only after he had long since left did he find out he had a brother at the orphanage, who actually became a friend while he was there - without either knowing. The building is still there but used for other ventures now. A search of the Internet provided nothing. Visits to the local libraries, police stations nothing either. Some of the locals have been very helpful regarding the history of the place, but only about the building itself, not the orphans. The local churches seem very reluctant to help. My friend Ken has happy memories of the place & is now trying to research his unknown start in life. I am looking for records of the orphans who were there from around 1948 - 1958. Can anyone out there help me? Many thanks, Mike Walker sally.mowcop@virgin.net

Hi there, Don’t know if you can help but here goes. I was born on 3/9/1946, I was adopted at the age of 4.5 yrs from Nazareth House, wether it was Swansea or Cardiff I do not know. My adopted family name is Martin, I have some suspicion that my former family name was Wilson, but it is only a distant and old hunch that could be wrong. How do I find out my history. One reason is Medical, the other is a desire to know why I was placed there in the first place. Can you help?? I live in Bedfordshire and have 2 sons and a wife. Yours hopefully John R Martin johnmartin@ntlworld.com

My mother was put into the Nazareth House in Derry in 1928 she was about 18 months old and she remained there until she was adopted at the age of four of five.

Missing relative I have an uncle that lives in filey and I have been unable to trace him through search sites on the internet. As he is quite elderly (probably in late 70's) I wondered if he could be a resident of one of your facilities in Filey. His name is Malcolm Thomas. and he has 2 surviving brothers in England. One in Devon the other in West Midlands. My sister and I went to live in Canada in 1954, returned for a visit in 1962 and have lost all contact since then. We are coming to England for a tour and a visit to Bridlington where we lived with my grandmother and uncle Malcolm. We would love to be able to see him but don't seem to be able to trace him. His wife died quite a few years ago so he could be on his own. We have contacted the Bridlington news service and "Judy" says she will put something in the paper there to see if we can locate old friends and relatives. We would appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Thank you in advance Anne Lesnick a.lesnick@rogers.com

Hi Adel, I am doing some research into my mother's cousin Major Edward Macey who disappeared in Cyprus in 1964, while serving with the UN peacekeeping force. His Mother Alice Clara Macey was in Gratwick House Rest Home, 55 Norfolk Rd, Littlehampton before her death in hospital in January 1970.Alice's previous address was C/o Canon T J Kirkland Bsc, St Ovins, Clagmore Rd, Rustington, Littlehampton.We are wondering if she was actually acquainted with Canon Kirkland or was there an aged care facility at that address? Her son's emergency address while in the Army was the same. We are also looking for Alice's niece Eileen Alannah Bolton whose address in 1970 was 172 The Street, Clapham, when she was the informant on Alice's death certificate. We would like to get in touch with her about family history details if anyone knows where she is living now. Kind regards, Annette Weckert nettdragon@gmail.com
Hi, Further information received regarding Eileen Alannah Bolton reveals about 10 years ago, she went to live with her daughter Maureen who was a microbiologist, married with 2 children and lived in Scotland. Can anyone help with Maureen's married name and location please? Searching for family information. Kind Regards, Annette Weckert

Dear Adel  I wondered if you could help me please. I am researching my family tree and am looking for a orphanage/care home which was called Cottage Homes in 1926 in Norton Road, Stourbridge. My mother-in-law lived there from an early age. I have found your web site and note that Westfield Lodge is in Norton Road and wondered if you might be able to tell me if you have access to any history on the building. This may be a long shot but I thought it may have been the orphanage before it became Westfield Lodge.I apologise for this not being a 'work related' query but I am having great difficulty locating the whereabouts of this home. I would really appreciate any help or information you may have,but of course, if you are too busy please accept my apologies again for any inconvenience caused.Regard Jenny.Jenny.buzzard@ukonline.co.uk

 Dear Adel, I recently became interested in my family history on my fathers side. And to be more precise, his fathers side. This leads me to the family of Clarkson who lived in Keldhead Hall in North Yorkshire prior to its becoming a care home. If there is any remaining information on the Clarkson family or the history of the hall itself, I would be extremely grateful to receive it! My email address is: hotchocolate@tesco.ne Yours sincerely, Natasha Rogerson

Dear Adel, I came across your website and thought you might be able to help me. I am trying to locate my elderly aunt Nellie Backhouse who, if she is still alive would be in her early 90’s. Up until about 6 or 7 years ago she was living on her own in a residential home or retirement village in Clacton, Essex that apparently was run by the local council. My parents in New Zealand corresponded with her regularly for many years but she eventually found it too difficult to write and had to enlist the help of a neighbor when replying. I understand that she moved on to a new locality but I don't know where. We have had conflicting reports as to whether she is still living. If she has died it would be good to know when this occurred and where she is buried. Aunty Nellie was my mother's youngest sister. She never married. The Clacton address where she was living is; 61 Holly Court, 200 Old Road, London Road Clacton, Essex CO 151 HX Living in Adelaide, South Australia does make this type of search rather difficult. I would be most grateful if you could help in any way. My e-mail address is; sandivince@optusnet.com.au Yours sincerely Ian Vince

Dear Adel, I am writing on behalf on my Italian cousin, Felicita Pelosi who lives for most of the year in the moutain village of Picinisco, near Frosinone in Italy. My father (Felicita's uncle) was Italian and came from Picinisco. We are tring to obtain contact details for Maria Corelli [Mary Corell MacDonald Gill] the author of a short story entitled "In Love and War."  Apparently Maria lived for some time in Picinisco in a house currently occupied by one of our cousins, and then spent the duration of the second world war hiding from the Germany army in a cave somewhere near the village. I understand that Maria now lives in West Wittering and so am writing to your contact address to see if I can obtain a reply. My cousin would like an address for Maria so that she can write directly to her . Felicita's interests include the local history of Picnisco, which has had its fair share of interesting English literary visitors in the past. Thanking you in advance. jcrolla@dial.pipex.com Yours sincerely, Dr John A Crolla

hello, perhaps some one in the Lowestoft area of the John Turner House can help me. I am looking for the Sissons family who managed (i believe) the House in Lowestoft back around the dates of 1987-1989 . They had a daughter Caroline , who married an American Serviceman named Kirby Albright. they had a daughter and moved to the US, after his tour in the UK was done. Kirby was my best friend while I was over in the UK . I was stationed with him at RAF Bentwaters , near Ipswich. I guess we drifted apart after we got out of the services... A few years ago , i ran into another mutual friend of Kirbys and he said that Kirby developed cancer and passed on to the Lord, and his wife and daughter returned to the UK, presumably the Lowestoft area.I would like to find/talk to Caroline, his widow, to express my condolences and remember good times we had. Any member of the Sissons family who anyone can get me in touch with would be much appreciated, i believe she also had a younger sister . Caroline would be about 34-36 right now. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may give me. Phone in US is 920-326-5701, address 514 Second St. Randolph WI 53956-1014    
e mail dpickhardt27@yahoo.com Thank you again, my time in the UK and my time with Kirby and his family was the best experience of my life.
