I am having a greedy request day but would be really appreciative of
any information regarding the orphanage in Torquay for Catholic
boys.I think it was called St Vincents. My (maternal) grandfather and
his brother were there in the late 1890s and my father was there in
the late 1920s and early thirties. Seems to have been a favourite
abode for my family.I know nothing regarding this orphanage except
for the horror stories of their treatment which obviously they did
not want to share to any great degree so information has died with
them......Lin
