    Has anyone heard of the St. Joseph and St. Anne Orphanage? In the 1901 census I came across a possible grand-uncle who was listed as an inmate. The orphanage was in the County of Kent in the Town of Farnborough.

    What a wealth of information! Thanks so much for sending me the links! Very interesting reading. It's given me a whole new outlook on how life was back then.

    When I found Joseph living at this orphanage on the 1901 census I wasn't sure I had the right family, so now I'll have to investigate a little more and see if his younger brother was also there. If I find him that's another little piece of the puzzle.

    You may have luck tracing records through the various Boards of Guardians who sent children to these institutions.
