Poonamallee Military Asylum
==Poonamallee Military Asylum==
[[Poonamallee]] is a town about 15 miles from Madras. An asylum for the children of [[British Army]] soldiers, was established in 1819. See [http://books.google.com/books?id=26sEAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA1-PA195 page 195] ''The Calcutta Annual Register'' (1821) Google Books. It is not clear how long this Asylum continued. All the girls were transferred to the MMFOA in 1826. All the boys may have been transferred at this time also,with only very young boys remaining under the care of the Poonamallee Asylum, such as those who appear to have been transferred to the MMMOA in 1835.
