Welcome

This is a new website for St.Edith's Children's Home, Clevedon. We hope you find it interesting to view all the topics , photos and memories of St.Edith's.  Originally the group of St.Edith's started on Facebook August 2010 - however, Facebook has changed considerably since, hence we lost all our discussion boards and topics.

It is very important to us at St. Edith's to preserve all our memories from those childhood days, so many people now have joined the group whose parents were once at St. Edith's or St.Mary's and have very little information .  For our future generations these records will be there for them to see what life was like living in a Children's Home and life thereafter.

  1. Hello everyone. A massive thank you to Linda and to Kristen for setting up this website to give us a permanent home for our info and photos.
    I have found an old membership list that I had saved on word before Facebook deleted all our precious history. It gives some background to the people who are our members and their relationship to each other.
    Maybe Kristian can use this somehow.
    thanks alot. Cathy.

  2. Thanks for this Cathy, so good you kept it, I have been trying to remember as much as I can but now realise how many members are missing, will get cracking on updating the site.

    So much to do but eventually we will have a great collection of photos, memories, reunions and many happy times to come.

    Linda

  3. copy of post written by Cathy

    Its been two years since Linda bumped into my Uncle Danny after a gap of 50 years. That meeting spraked off a series of events which eventually resulted in this website, the Facebook Group, half a dozen reunions, most importantly of all countless friends and family being reunited with one another. Every single "Old Edithian" has a story to tell that is worthy of its own Hollywood blockbuster and each is fascinating to read or hear.

    This website is a place to share these stories with people who were there or who care, so please do be generous with your memories, for some of us each one is a precious gift.

    Huge thanks to Linda and Kristian for all their efforts.

    Cathy
