In 1921, Arthur Gant, 14, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 134 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He declared that his present occupation was farm work; that his intended occupation was to do farm work; that he was born in Suffolk, England; that his passage was paid by Dr. Barnardo's Homes; that he was destined to his friend, Mr. J. W. Hobday, 50-52 Peter Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; that his nearest relation was his friends, Dr. Barnardo's Homes, 18-26, Stepney Causeway, London, E. 1., England.

Arthur Gant was placed with Hugh Green, Ridgetown, Howard, Kent, Ontario, England.

A juvenile inspector reported [T-15422]:

GANT, Arthur 14, Ipswich Union, 1921, Barnardo's, to Mr Green in Ridgetown "not very dependable while in Mr Green's employ but willing and agreeable when asked to do things", went on to places in Halton and Lambton Counties.
