Pages 1-34 contain a register of children in the Cottage Homes in chronological order, with dates of admission between 20 January 1880 and 23 March 1881. These pages are indexed.

Further, unnumbered, pages contain a 'Register of children at date of Call Over, August 23rd 1883', in alphabetical order. This appears to be a 'snapshot' of the children resident in the Homes at this particular date.

Further, unnumbered, pages contain an alphabetical list of children admitted between 1880 and 1886 with a tally of their circumstances (such as orphan, deserted, and so on), marked 'Classification by Revision Committee, 25 August 1886'.

Further, unnumbered, pages contain an alphabetical list of children admitted between 8 September 1880 and 11 June 1890 who were still resident in the Cottage Homes.
