I am a TV development producer currently exploring the world of people who have lost siblings for a possible documentary. I am hoping to meet people who might be looking for sibling(s) they have lost through divorce/remarriage, being in care or adopted.
A ruling in the appeal court recently allowed for a child of a first marriage to contact her younger siblings from her father’s second marriage- the argument being that the girl in her 20’s was entitled to ‘a wider family’ and that her siblings had the right to know of her existence. I am hoping to explore the issues around this. If you would like to talk to me about your search, and the obstacles you have met, I would be very grateful. Just chatting on the phone would not mean a commitment to anything further, but, would be helpful for research. Please call me at any time between 9-6.30 Mon-Fri Anne Buckland Development producer Tel: 0141 332 0319

Dear Adel, My grandmother Annie McGuire, came over from Waterford, Ireland sometime after 1901 with three younger siblings. Patrick born 7.2.1891, bap. 9.7.1891, James born 7.7.1893, bap. 9.7.1893 and Mary (Mollie) born 9.7.1895, bap.14.7.1895. All baptised at the Cathedral of the Most High Trinity, Waterford. Annie found a job at the Corporation Hotel, Canton she was able to 'live in' and was able to take her brother with her. I do not know which one went with her. The other two children were taken into care. Mary was supposed to have gone to Nazareth House, Column Rd, Cardiff. As there were only girls there, the brother had to go elsewhere, apparently to Swansea? As they were Roman Catholic I would think he would have gone to a RC home. Annie married George Melvin in Cardiff Register Office on 27.06.1905. I would like to find out where the children spent their childhood. Mary married William Meade in St David's Cathedral, Cardiff 19.12.1925. I have tried Nazareth House without success. James was killed by a horse driven tram on Westminster Bridge, London on 23.10.1929. I have been told that Patrick may have lived in the Cardiff Docks area as an adult, but it is all hearsay and I have no proof. Would be glad of any advise . Hilary Rollason. Ref: 96

His sister Mary Mead died 10th February 1945 30A Cowbridge Road, Cardiff. Her husband was the informant of death and they lived at 81 Ferry Rd, Cardiff. What I want to find out is where Patrick and Mary lived from the time they came to Cardiff circa 1901 (can't find them on census) until they died. Especially which Care Homes. I would be grateful if you could add my name to the 'HELP' list

I have found reference to Beatrice and her daughter Helena in the records of St David’s cathedral. But under the names of Beatrice (Karlsson) Swedish people often anglicised the sir names.

INSTITUTION CARLSON HELENA          F 1905 6 Cardiff Glamorganshire
