Melwood training fields have been there for a long time. I know that St Francis Xavier's college used to own them before selling them to Liverpool FC I can't remember the date exactly. I don't know if an orphanage was ever on that site. If you contact St Paul's presbetry they may be able to help you. Or even if you go through the archdiocese if it was chatholic run, there should be some info on it. St Pauls is the junior and infants school that backs onto Melwood training ground. I used to go to this school but i can't remember anything from before the field except an extension to the infant school in the early 90's

There is a rugby field further down the road from Melwood off layfield road, but this is a bit far off to be considered Melwood, but this was an anti-aircraft position during WW2. If she ever mentioned that.
SFX's number is 0151 288 1000
St Pauls Presbetry is 0151 228 3405
Hope my rambling helps
