hello, My great aunt was in a waifs and strays home in Leeds and I was able to access what records they still had available, she was sent to Canada from St chads, the W&S home. The Waifs and Strays children's homes were taken over by, The Childrens Society and the address I wrote to was,
The Childrens Society,
