HI DAVE.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON THE TRYING TO FIND PAGE AND SPOTTED TWO NAMES I REMEMBER.
PERCY MILLS WHO DROVE THE SCHOOL LORRY WHICH WAS GARAGED NEAR THE TINSMITHS SHOP,
AND EVERY MORNING WHEN WE ARRIVED AT SHOP HE WOULD BE HAVING CHAT WITH HAROLD DeBOECK
THE SHOP MASTER. I WENT WITH HIM A FEW TIMES FROM GOLDINGS TO BOYS GARDEN CITY WOODFORD
TO VISIT MY YOUNG BROTHER.
I HOPE HIS GRAND SON READS THIS AS I FOUND HIM TO BE A VERY FRIENDLY GENTLEMAN
PS. I HAVE MENTIONED HIM IN MY HISTORY OF GOLDINGS
ANDREW ORELLO.
THE OTHER NAME THAT CAME TO MIND WAS JOSE ORELLO HE CAME FROM SPAIN PROBABLY ABOUT
THE TIME OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR, HE WAS A VERY GOOD FOOTBALLER AND SCORED MANY GOALS
FOR THE SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM.
JOHN HORN. 1942-45
Peter Mills found lots of lads who remembered his grandfather from their time at Goldings (John Horn, Jimmy James,
John Hunt) all remembered Percy Mills
A nice touch at this years reunion 2010, Bill Roe who's best mate at Goldings was Ernie Dawson, his son has been in touch
to contact Bill and send him a picture from Corris House (this was the home they were both in before Goldings) as Ernie
passed away in 1990, Bill got in touch with Barnardo's for information on him but they felt they could not put him in touch
with Ernie's family, so it dried up! but all Bill wanted to do was to pay his last respects to him, it now seems it has come to a
happy conclusion via the site.
Bill met up with his old friend Ernie Dawson’s 2 sons Mark and Andy at the reunion then Mark and Andy took Bill with his son
Frank to pay his respects, to Ernie his best friend.
Information
David Denford who was in the Homes from 1936 to 1953 at Euston Hall, Badgeworth Court, Woodford Bridge, Barkingside.
He is interested for anyone who might know him. Can contact him at
Daveden@blueyonder.co.uk.
Do you ever hear anything about other staff people like Reg Leason or Frank Offord.? I would appreciate having
news of them. I hope you are well and happy. Keep in touch. As ever,
Jack Johnstone...One time Housemaster, Aberdeen House..
Joyce Phipps is looking for anyone who remembers or can give any information about her brothers both in
Bromborough and then Goldings around 1947 Ronnie or George Phipps. Joyce would be grateful for
anything no matter how small.
Violet Farey nee Strong is looking for information or anyone who remembers her brother Henry Strong
liked to be called Harry Strong was in Goldings she thinks around 1933
I have been looking at the Barnados web site, My grandfather Percy Mills worked & lived at Goldings during
the 1930's & 40's my memories of him are vague he died around 1945 I believe he drove an Albion lorry &
may have worked in the shoe shop. This could be before your time, I am hoping that some of your older
members may have known him. any information or photos{ which I can copy & return] would be great.

A couple of mails I received over the last few days. James Medland can be contacted through myself if you can help.
We believe James came into Goldings Winter 1957, if you remember him, or any incidents of that time he would
appreciate your help. Dave
(I was in this team jamie medland i know of one other the little person is whippet.)
(Sorry I was so vague about the gym team i was talking about Bob Newtons team. I think those photos where taken in
the 50s. My recollection of my time at goldings is very sparse . If there is anybody that you know of that could help
me to recall my time at goldings I would be so gratefull as i want to sit down with my grandchildren and talk about
my time at school.)
With all my heart felt thanks
Jaime Medland.

Dave,
Not a lot of information re. James Medland. He arrrived at Goldings Autumn term 1957 from Plymouth and went
into Kinnaird House. Trade was a Bootmaker. He was a monitor in Kinnaird before his transfer to a Senior House
Cairns. He was promoted to L/Cpl in the Cadets Summer 1959 but cannot find when he left.
Good to hear from you

We were wondering if you could put up a post on the website as Grandad is trying to find some friends that went
to Goldings at the same time as him; B.Geurdon, W.Hammond, A.Wilson, D.Janaway, and Kenneth Green
They all went to Goldings on 10th April 1951
Any information would be great!
Thank you
