NotesA birth registration was found for Tom Frank Thorne; Year of Registration: 1880; Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun; District: Holborn; County: London, Middlesex; Volume: 1b; Page: 827. Parents: Francis William Thorne and Phoebe Capp, married 1874, Bethnal Green, London, England.

Tom's mother was an abusive alcoholic, and her habits caused them to be homeless. Their father, from stress, had a "fit", fell, and broke some ribs, which caused him to be in the hospital for a time. Two of Tom's sisters, Alice and Annie, were sent and admitted to Barnardos at that time.

Four siblings of Tom were also admitted and sent to Canada. One older sister, Phoebe, already lived away from them, and a younger sister, Matilda, went to live with an aunt.

In 1893, Thomas Thorne, 13, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 54 Barnardo boys en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Barnardos lost track of Frank Thomas about 1902, but family members reported that his sister Annie had letters from him, and in 1904 he enlisted in the US navy in New York. Later, Annie received post cards from him in Philadelphia.
