Update a Home Child Information Sheet

New Search

This is the Information Sheet for SPRIGGS, Frederick George as it stands now. Correct anything that is wrong and fill in anything that is missing. A volunteer reviews every submission before the Registry is changed. The British Home Child Registry was started by Perry Snow in 2000 in memory of his father, Frederick George Snow (17 September 1909 – 17 September 1994).
