*[[Poonamallee]] Military Asylum, about 15 miles from Madras, 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. Some/all girls were transferred to the MMFOA in 1826, and boys possibly in 1835.
