Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could maybe point me in the right direction.

My Great-Grandfather and his Brother were placed into an orphanage in the 1920's due to their Mother's death in the area of Poplar, London. They were split up and my Great-Grandfather never knew what happened to his Brother. He would not talk about this situation when he was alive as he wasn't a very open person. All we were told is that they were placed into an orphanage and my Great-Grandfather ran away from the orphanage leaving his Brother there and never seeing him again.

For years we have been trying to find out what happened to my Great-Grandfathers Brother but we always seem to hit a brick wall.

I have exhausted ancestry searches, been to the London Metropolitan archives, Barnardo's, death certificates, Birth certificates. Children's homes that I thought they may have been in all seem to have no records.

I am still none the wiser as to what actually happened to them both as children, other than what my Great-Grandad had told us.

Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do or where I can go to maybe help me along with my search. If I have missed any details out then please let me know.

Regards
Will
