Thank you very much for the useful information.
The list has given me great advice on my query regarding the orphanage. I
would like to thank everyone who has helped me.

Around 1908 some of my relatives from Newport went in an orphanage. Is
there an orphanage in Newport and would they have lists of admissions etc
at
Gwent Record Office.
There was an orphanage - children's home - in Newport run by the Town
Council. The reception home was at 175 Chepstow Road. I am sure that I
have
looked through some of the papers for the home at the Gwent Record
Office -
I was doing a project on children who were sent to Canada and there are
papers relating to that at the record office.
