NotesA birth registration was found for Charles Alfred Burr; Year of Registration: 1897; Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec; District: Bath; County: Avon, Somerset; Volume: 5c; Page: 512.

In 1901, Charlie Burr, 3 years of age, is shown residing at 11 Ferry Place, Twerton, Somerset, England. Other family members included: Albert Burr, 55, groom (not domestic); Daisy Burr, 6; Susannah Burr, 30; Violet Burr, 6. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 2334; Folio: 179; Page: 17.) (Editor sidenote: Another sister, Nellie Burr, would be born in 1902. No immigration data found as of yet, but she was living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 1919.)

In 1911, Charles Burr, 13, arrived in Quebec, Canada, en route to Knowlton, Quebec, Canada.

In 1911, Charles Bourre, 13, is shown as a domestic for Samuel Adams and family in St. George de Henryville Parish and Henryville Village, St Jean-Iberville, Quebec. His date of birth is shown as October, 1897, and his immigration year as 1911.

On October 24, 1919, Charles A. Burr, was debarred (the official term for those whose entry was denied into the United States) from entering the US at Detroit, Michigan. He stated that he was 20 years of age; that he was a farmer; that he was a Canadian national; that he resided in Clarksville, Ontario; that his next of kin was his sister, Nellie Burr, who resided at 4 Hambley Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; that his final destination was Newell, South Dakota; that he was visiting his friend Robert McClung, who resided at RFD 2, Box 70, Newell, South Dakota; and that he intended to remain permanently in the United States. He was described as being 5 foot 5-1/2 inches in height; medium complexion; brown hair; and brown eyes. He stated he was born in Bath, Somersetshire, England.

On the manifest at Detroit, it is stamped CONTRACT LABORER. One of the major considerations of immigration officials was whether the incoming migrant's economic conditions were precarious and whether he or she would become a public charge in the United States. Economic concerns also led immigration officials to screen the migrant who sought to move to a given location after having contracted a job with a U.S. employer, a flagrant violation of the contract-labor law. The possibility that Charles was unaware of the contract-labor provisions is a very real possibility.
