Lyn 1 30 Posted November 30, 2019 Childrens Homes Register, Fir Vale 27 Oct 1894 - 8 Nov 1902 Children's Homes at Sheffield Union Workhouse - the http://www.sheffieldindexers.com/ have started transcribing the admission registers for these homes. You can find them under the school records part of the site. It is easier to put *Fir Vale* in the District box and it will bring up an alphabetical list of those they have transcribed. The registers in their original form are very difficult to read and are kept at Sheffield Archives, so it has been a difficult job for the transcribers who have worked so hard on them. A big thank you to the transcribers. The Hospital Charity shop has a book on sale about the Scattered Homes. The shop is based just inside the Huntsman Entrance at the Northern General Hospital. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
