George And Charles Candy - Hill Lane Orphanage 1901

I recently discovered whilst researching my family tree that Grandad George James Candy was not only born in St Helier, Jersey, but by the time he was 13 years old he and his brother Charles Henry (10 years) were living in the Seamans orphanage at 6 Hill Lane. I would love to know if anyone can remember the orphanage or has any knowledge of its history.

RE: RE: George And Charles Candy - Hill Lane Orphanage 1901

There was for many years in Hill Lane an orphanage called Nazareth House run by nuns. It was located towards the south end of Hill Lane on the east side of the road. It later became a home for single mothers, and then a home for the aged.
