Summary

Children of the St.Vincent de Paul's Orphanage (Sisters of Mercy) and their priest photographed at the entrance to the orphanage building on Goodwood Road, Goodwood, South Australia. Amongst the children are Clarence John Twining (known as John Clarence Twining) born in 1913 who lived at the orphange from age 6 until he was approximately 13 years old. His eldest sisters, Elsie and Sylvia, also lived there, with younger brother George. The youngest of the family, Leo, was too young and therefore adopted. A researcher has identified the children of Mary Jane (nee McDonald) and John Wilson: Eileen Mavis (b1913), Mary Veronica (b1914), 'Betty' (Elizabeth) Mary Konetta (b1910), Donald James (b1916) and Colin John Wilson (b1911) were taken to Goodwood Orphanage in February 1920 after their mother died of Spanish Flu in October 1919.
