If you can contact Robert Ferris (post of 15 Jan 2010), I have the info on Eileen Olivette Turkington he was seeking. Perhaps this query is being followed up by another relative who would like to contact me.
In reply to Robert Ferris's post of 15 Jan 2010:
My Grandmother was Laura Isobel Turkington, she was a sister of Eileen Jenkins. Eileen worked at The Grange Orphanage for Girls in Herne Bay, Auckland NZ. I am not aware that she worked at the Boys Home in Eltham. I am awaiting a reply as to Eileen's employment at The Grange, whether she held the position of Matron, & if so, during which period.
I am happy for you to give my email address to Robert Ferris or his next of kin.
PO Box 78, Lawson NSW 2783, Australia
Would you like to contact me regarding the Turkington family
