Hi Luisha

Don't know if this will help but National Archives at Kew holds all information, including children's homes, military abbreviations etc. You can ask questions, get answers.

Have you tried Dr Barnado's?

Don't give up, never thought I'd find adopted siblings but have found one after years of searching.

three of my ancestors were apparently orphanaged in London - 2 girls into orphanages and 1 boy into a naval home?
Is there anyway I can find information on these using the internet?
