Looking for info. on Orphanages

Wondering if anyone has any info. on orphanages in Saint John back in the late 1929's-1938, Catholic and Protestant. Looking for names of orphanages. Thanks.

for Catholic... try the local SJ Catholic Diocese. If you were looking for an earlier time period, say 1910, I would recommend searching through the 1911 Census... it will indicate "boarder" or "orphan".

orphanages

Saint Patrick's Orphanage was located on Loch Lomond Road behind Saint Joachims church. The foundations of the old orphanage and rectory can still be seen on the hillside. The Prostestant Orphans Home was located on Manawagonish Road at purdy's corner and is now a seniors complex. hope this helps
