In 1890, George A. Gilderson, 18, arrived at Portland, Maine, USA, in a group of 113 Barnardo children who disembarked at Portland. More children in the same party disembarked at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

George is mentioned in the August 1895 edition of the Barnardo's magazine Ups and Downs:

If every boy will only nail his colors to the mast as firmly as George Gilderson has done in his letter that Prejudice--we spell it with a capital P--will soon be a thing of the past. As for the "home sickness"--may the time never come when George or any other boy ceases to have at times a little touch of it. It is not an unhealthy sign; on the contrary, the boy or man whose heart does not throb occasionally with a strange yearning for old friends and old associations, whose influence has been beneficial to him, is deficient in one of the finest qualities of human nature. Home sickness, when not allowed the mastery, does not indicate a discontented mind. It betokens a nature keen to appreciate, and that appreciation will extend, and be as faithful, to present friends and surroundings as it has been to those of earlier days.

George Alfred Gilderson, residing at 1617 Howe Street, Racine, Wisconsin, was naturalized as a United States citizen on September 30, 1914, at Portage County, Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

On June 9, 1930, George A. Gilderson, 57, shoe maker, crossed into Canada through the port of Sarnia, Ontario. He declared that he was born in London, England; that he was a citizen of the United States, residing in Wisconsin; that he had previously resided in Canada between 1890-1902, in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada; that he was Protestant; that he intended to work on a fruit farm in Canada; that he was destined to Mr. Miner, Strathroy, Ontario, Canada; and that his contact in the USA was his friend, Rev. E. Leonard, Racine, Wisconsin.
