NotesIn 1875, Eliza Fairley, 16, arrived at Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 41 Louisa Birt children. No manifests are available to display the name of the ship, however, the information was gleaned from the papers of Col. J. W. Laurie.

From: "The Little Immigrants: The Orphans Who Came to Canada" by Kenneth Bagnell, page 32.

"During the years between 1873 and 1876, Louisa Birt made many trips to Halifax, bringing in total almost six hundred children and delivering them to the supervision of J. Wimburn Laurie, who, like most other people who had worked in child immigration, had a program which, in its theory, had the best interests of everyone at heart. 'On arrival,' he told the provincial immigration agent in 1875, 'they come at once under my charge, the legislature by enactment confirming the action of their parents or nearest relatives and appointing me the legal guardian. Regular applications distinctly prescribing the conditions under which the children are allotted are received by me, and these in all cases must be recommended by a clergyman. I make the best selection that careful enquiry and local knowledge will admit of and, whilst looking on the allotment as a permanent arrangement, I require quarterly reports, giving full particulars of the child's health, conduct, progress in and out of school, and this in every case certified by the local minister."
