When my great grandfather (Frederick Finney) died in 1906, his wife (Florence Lydia) and 4 children were left destitute. The two eldest girls were placed in Calthorpe Home, 111 Church Hill Rd, Handsworth, where they lived until 1913. The 1911 census confirms that Doris and Florence Lydia May were present at the school.
Apart from the Hidden Lives site (https://www.hiddenlives.org.uk/homes/HANDS01.html) I have no information on this orphanage. Can anyone help?
Thanks in anticipation.
