NotesIn 1870, Elizabeth Lynes, 13, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 102 Maria Rye children, all but one were girls, and en route to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, with the exception of 40 children who were sent to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.

Stated in Mr.Andrew Doyle's reply to Miss Rye's report on the immigration of pauper children to Canada - June 1877

Elizabeth Lynes: No. 194, page 16 of Miss Rye's synopis:
"Elizabeth Lynes, 12. Bound for service. First place with Mr. W. McKeel, Greenwich, King's County, New Brunswick. Remained in the same family till 1873, when she returned to England." Miss Rye of course asked "a plain question" in this as in all other cases, and believes equally "of course" that she recieved a "plain and straightforward answer". And possibly she did but "returned to England" does not tell the whole story. At least the girl herself adds some material facts to Miss Rye's synoptical account. Shortly after my return from Canada I found her an inmate of the able-bodied women's ward of the Wolverhampton workhouse, waiting to be confined of an illegitimate child. Here is her statement as she made it to me in the presence of the master of the workhouse:
"was taken from the Wolverhampton workhouse by Miss Rye in 1870, landed at St. John's (as well as she remembers the place), was taken with other children and women to some insitiution from which, after a week, she was sent up the country to service with a farmer, Mr. McKeel, while there was often and severely beaten by her mistress's children, wrote to her brother complaining of this, her mistress took possession of the letter, and told her she must write no letter without submitting it to her, in her 16th year she was seduced by her master's son, her pregnancy being discovered she is taken by her master to the port, put on board a steamer, her passage having been paid, and sent to Liverpool with a few dollars in her pocket" to find her way back as best she can to the workhouse from which she had been taken "to be looked after till she is 18" I observe that the name of this girl is amongst those who are either reported or returned to the Home at Niagara for extreme obstinacy and violent temper." In the synopsis, however, she is reported as having remined in the same family till she returned to England and "did well while there"

My notes: Elizabeth Lynes is found on the 1871 census for Canada in Greenwich, King's County, New Brunswick working as a servant for the family of William B. McKeel, his wife Emily C. McKeel and their children Frederick - 21, Emily - 20, Albert - 19, Francis - 14, Hedley - 13 and George - 12. In the first quarter of 1873 a male child is registered as being born in Wolverhampton, his name is John Lynes. The 1881 census for Canada is showing the McKeel family as having another female servant living on their farm. She is 13 year old Annie Ross, born in Scotland.
