My Father in law was in a Barnado's home with the fashion designer Bruce Oldfield.

Perhaps you could contact Barnardos directly, although what with confidentiality and protection of information, you might be a bit hard pushed.

Maybe put an advert on a friends search site.

If you have names you could try searching the local schools for that time on Friends Reunited, you could even put up a message asking if anyone has contact with certain people.

Daily Mail has a 'lost and found' feature for people looking for former workmates/ friends etc. Might be worth a shot, usually requires a photograph for publication, though.

I found this, not quite the same question but it gives a contact address which may be worth a try...
