Question: I have a family ancestry tree I am working on and while I was poking around I came across a 1930 census from Methuen that has my mother and her brother listed as boarders at an institution called "Arington Day Nursery" I think located on Camden street. The street is hard to read on this census but the name is very clear. My question to you is how can I get copies of the records when they were there, where and when did they leave this institution? My moms name was Bernice M Fairbrother and her brother was Charles R Fairbrother. She was 5 years old at the time and he was 7 years old.

Any help would be greatful. Also is this building still standing in Methuen?

Thank you
