Quebec House: Finding my foundling
Quebec Square, Westerham, Kent, TN16 1TD
On 10 April 1758, a baby boy was left in the care of the London Foundling Hospital. From the humblest of beginnings, this small child, who never knew his parents, grew up to father a family that now encircles the globe. Come and hear how, through tireless family history research, his story came to light as told by one of his descendants, Helen Warren. This talk is part of Quebec House's Heritage Open Day programme, 'Our Place, Your Past'.
