Beechholme was a children's home in Fir Tree Road, Banstead, Surrey. It was founded in 1879 as a Residential School for poor children from the slums of Kensington and Chelsea and run under a Village system.

Given the ages, I fear that very few people who were at school with Harry and siblings will still be living.

It's not clear what information you're hoping for.
You've posted on the "Living relatives" board, but you say you're trying to make up the family tree.
Are you hoping for info re living relatives/descendants - or are you hoping to find out about their parents and ancestors?

How much do you know already about Harry's siblings? Marriages, children, etc?

Or perhaps you're only interested in Harry,as he's the subject of your thread?


?? Is this him ??? (I'm assuming you yourself are not Harry 1929)

Welcome to Genes and the boards.

It is extremely unlikely that anyone of the family or other residents of Beecholme would see your post.

Try looking for members of the family in Search all members trees,

Use the free website www.freebmd.org.uk to see if you can trace marriages for any of the siblings.

Where are they all in the 1939 register?

Edit: mothers maiden name Read.
Robert born Holborn 1919
Lilian M born Southwark 1920
George & Mary born Southwark 1924
Harry born Southwark 1929
