NotesFrank and Jo his brother came over together to Canada. Their final destination was the St Georges Home, Ottawa (the former New Orpington Lodge). Frank and Jo worked on a Mr Leahy's farm in Peterborough area at one point. They both served in WWI and married and had families. I don't know why they came over as Home Children. Their mother was alive until 1942 and Frank visited back home to England later in life.
