NotesIt is unsure whether this George John Warden was actually a true Home Child. However, due to the stories he told and dates and times, he is included in this database.

A birth registration was found for George John Warden: Year of Registration: 1893; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: Ipswich; County: Suffolk; Volume: 4a; Page: 858.

In 1901, George Warden, 7 years of age, was shown residing at 40 Bell Lane, Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Other family members included: lodger, Chas Warden, 32, labourer; Elizabeth Warden, 38; Emily Warden, 3; and George Warden, 46, labourer. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 1775; Folio: 67; Page: 34.)

His family could no longer support him and at 15 he had no choice but to come to Canada. He went to the Ragged School on Waterworks Street in Ipswich, England, and sold newspapers to help with family expenses until his departure.

[POSSIBLE MATCH] In 1910, George Warren, 14, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 109 Macpherson children accompanied by Mr. Merry en route to Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

His daughter related that he arrived in Montreal with no money or possessions. Upon arrival on the docks, he received bread and jam from the Salvation Army. The family story has it that he sold the jam to buy a stamp to send a letter home that he arrived safely. He also may have hitched a ride on a stage coach to Toronto and then to Bond Head, where he worked on a farm.

In 1911, George Warden, 17, was shown as a servant to John and Eleanor Brethett of Tecumseth, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as August, 1893, and his immigration year as 1910.

On January 24, 1914, at Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between George John Warden, 21, carpenter, born in Ipswich, Staffordshire [sic], England, to George John Warden and Elizabeth Bessie Symond; and Edith Tamson Croucher, 21, born in Otterden, Kent, England, to Charles Croucher and Tamson Piles.
