Now I am very excited at the news from the Together Trust that they have a brand new search engine on their website which will “help people see if their ancestors were ever in one of our Manchester homes. *
The charity started in 1870 and within a decade was involved in a range of activities, designed to help the young people of Manchester and Salford who were living on the streets, were disabled, or just in need of some tender care and attention.
All of which means that lots of youngsters will have been helped.
Currently the project is "in its early stages, around 4000 names have been inputted into the system for individuals that were in our Manchester Homes between 1870 and 1915. This can be searched by full name or surname.
Applications can then be made to the Together Trust to access full records if family details match up.”
And the rest as they say is for you to read by following the link to their blog.*
Now as someone who had his grandfather, great aunt and two great uncles in care in Derby during the early part of the last century I know just how important the Trust’s search engine could be to those who suspect they had a family member who was cared for the charity.
And that is all I am going to say.
