NotesInformation found so far:- Sent from Liverpool UK on March 10, 1910, arriving in Halifax N.S. Canada, March 18, 1910. He was one of the Barnardo children. Records indicate he was sent from Halifax to Toronto & Peterborough however I understand that the boys were not sent to Peterborough, only the girls. He spend time in Welland but I have not been able to trace him from Toronto to anywhere.

I want to find out why he was put in Barnardo's care in the first place and how he went from E. Sussex to Liverpool, if he was put in a home before he came to Canada. Lots of unanswered questions. His daughter, my mother, is still living and we would like to get some of this information whil she is still living.
