There was a home in Hornchurch Essex which took children from London. Hornchurch is approximately 30 minutes from London. The home was called St Leonards and the houses were all called after trees one being Laurel. Does this fit. The others had names like Rose and Hawthorn and they were all situated off a long drive.

Hi Marcia, I have just nudged up a thread by Merail reg homes from 1900 onwards,, however, do not click onto her name to send her a PM half way down page 10 there is a message from her, she has a new account under the name Em C...... you need to click onto this to send her her a PM. Sheila |
