NotesTheir parents died within six months of each other. They were in the West Ham Workhouse when their mother died. The four boys were orphaned at ages 2, 4, 6 and 8. Their older brother hated the family situation and constantly ran away. He was considered too high a risk to be sent to Canada and so is not a Home Child.
The youngest brother Walter is erroneously in the censuses under the name of George. He suffered at the hands of an unknown caregiver and died young as a result of these injuries.
