Babies' Homes in 1915

Has anyone any information on Birmingham Children's Homes for babies around 1915? My father was at Marston Green Cottage Home from about the age of 5 but doesn't know where he was before that.

Thanks

The Birmingham City Archives have registers for Marston Green Homes of the children admitted and any punishments they were given and it may be worth checking these to see if there is any reference or case notes of the circumstances of your fathers admittance to the homes.

This is the National Archives reference link for the Birmingham Archives

Also if you use the search facility at the top of the forum page and type in Marston Green homes there may be other reference sources of information.
