Percy Gregg, sister, Jessie Gregg, and brother, Ernest Gregg, were admitted to Norwood School, Lambeth Union, on August 12, 1897. Both of their parents were dead. An older sister Lily was residing at the "Lord High Admiral", Vauxhall Bidge Road, and a brother, Horatio Gregg, was residing at 33 Plantagenet Street, Cardiff (he came to visit his remaining siblings on May 29, 1901.)

Jessie D. Gregg was discharged to Barnardos Home in 1900. Ernest was enlisted in the Band of the 3rd Battalion, Kings Own, Pontefract, on March 9, 1900.

Percy was discharged to Barnardo Home on June 12, 1901.In 1901,

Percy Gregg, 10, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a large group of Barnardo children: 239 to Toronto, Ontario; 68 to Winnipeg, Manitoba; 20 to Russell, Manitoba; and 3 to Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.


March 2 1903, with John P Parsons, farmer, Barnsley, Manitoba,

Age 12, good farm home, employed at chores, good health, attends church at intervals, had three months schooling last year and is at school now, character honest but untruthful, cannot be depended upon what he is told without constant watching. Terms-Five years indenture from 1st December 1901 to 1st April 1906 at $10, $20, $30 and $40 per annum respectively. The boy was at school when I called, and I drove there and saw him, an intelligent, smart looking lad-is fairly well clad, but complains of ill treatment from Mrs Parsons. My impression is that Mrs Parsons is perhaps too severe with the lad, who is very young. He has a sister with a farmer about four miles off whom he has not seen for a year, he says, though he has asked leave to go. Mrs Parsons states that he is not a vicious boy, and certainly he does not look like one. Her sole complaint is his pretending to have done things he has been told to do, and acts of carelessness whereby some of their animals have suffered.
