Would anyone know the children's home/school that was 84 Kingsdown Parade in Bristol. Trying to find out who it was run by. I am helping a lady whose mother - Mary Wotley (sic) was in this home (an orphan) aged 9 at the time of the 1881census. |

Thanks for the information I had found this on the census but am trying to find who ran the 'home'. Bristol Bond records office cannot help so we don't know who to write to for information on Mary. |

I googled Bristol records office and they have a site where you can email them. They are at Smeaton Road, Hotwell. Bristol and their telephone number is 0117 9224224. Good Luck Irene |

Thanks Irene My lady who I am helping went there this week and they cannot help at all on the information that we seek about Kingsdown Parade. Think her next step will be to write to the local rag and see if anyone responds. Thanks for your response. |

In case you are wondering, the local rag would be the Bristol Evening Post or the Western Daily Press |

Joan did you notice that Ann Adams the matron is a housekeeper in Dorset in the 1891 census. I think her name is Ann Jane Kate Adams. The births for that area on IGI do not start to 1843 so could not check her full title. Good Luck Irene |
