NotesRose Ellen Anderson was born to a man and his housekeeper. She was found wandering the streets in Bolton, Lancashire at the age of 13. The court placed her in a local Industrial School at Meanwood, Leeds on March 27, 1905 and moved to Beckett House on April 8, 1905. She was passed for emigration on March 18, 1907 and arrived at Niagara-on-the-Lake on July 15, 1907. Rose was placed in two different homes and apparently had a bit of a temper and "has not much ambition and will never make a first class servant". During this time, she began to go by the name of Nellie Wright (Wright was her mother's maiden name). While in the second home in Grimsby, became pregnant with my Grandfather. She was sent to a Salvation Army Rescue Home in Hamilton, Ontario where my Grandfather was born. April 1913, Nellie left my Grandfather with a lady and left for Chicago to join her two brothers and a sister there. She married 22 May 1913 and it only lasted a few months. Nellie had asked for her son to be sent to her in Chicago, but left for Kentucky with her new husband and was not there to meet him. He was placed with the Children's Aid Society in Chicago and eventually sent back to Canada where he was placed in a foster home (he was never legally adopted) and raised as their son. I have been unable to trace Nellie past her marriage in Chicago and the few months until that ended. She never tried to see or retrieve her son again.
