Notesnext of kin given as Grandfather-Mr Russell Dunn, 19 Pitt Street, Ipswich, Suffolk, , destination Mr John Hobday, 538 Jarvis St, Toronto, intended occupation farming.

This is my uncle Bertie. He is my mother's brother. His father was George Grout Farrow (1870 - 1915) and his mother Agnes Emma (nee Dunn)(1882 - 1917). Following his father's death his mother remarried (becoming a Barnard) and had 2 children by that marriage.
Siblings: George Ronald (1908); Elsie Hilda (1909 - 1974) ( my mother); Basil Sidney (1911) ( Basil also was a home child emigrating in 1922 from Barnado's); Rose Muriel (1913) .
Half-siblings: Dorothy Gladys Dunn (1901); Vera Barnard (1916) and Charles Barnard (1917).
His mother died following the birth of Charles and this was when he and 3 of his siblings were admitted to Dr Barnado's. For some unknown reason my mother wasn't.
I have been in touch with Barnado's and because I can not prove he is deceased nor that I am a direct descendant (if he were deceased) they will only supply me4 with limited information. Barnardo's tell me that his last known address was in December 1940 living in Highgate Ontario.
