NotesI expect Ellen May was put into Barnardo's care at about age 9 with a younger sister my grandmother E. for Eliza. This was just after their father died and their mother could not afford to keep all the children on her own. She kept a younger brother and mentally disabled sister. The two girls were sent to Canada and I have no idea what happen to them between 1904 and 1912 when the younger sister my grandmother married in 1912. Ellen May returned to England after her release from her work period in Canada. She married and raised her family there.She contacted her mother again. What I know about Ellen May is what I have found out through census records and what has been told to me through cousins that have travelled to England and got to meet Ellen May before her death in Birmingham in 1977. They thought she was a lovely person.
