NotesA birth registration was found for Mabel May Crockford: Year of Registration: 1892; Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec; District: Lambeth; County: Greater London, London, Surrey; Volume: 1d; Page: 367. Parents: Henry Crockford and Joan Jeffery.

Lily, Mabel and Violet Crockford were admitted June 14, 1899, upon the application of Mrs. Price, the landlady of 11a Belvedere Road. Mrs. Price stated that their father, Harry Crockford, had deserted them on June 13, 1899, and that his wife (stepmother to the children) went away the previous day. Their father was an upholsterer and said in a letter that he was going to sea. He took the rooms (furnished) at Belvedere Road in January, 1899, and stated that he had just come from Liverpool (R.O. Report 5603). The Board on June 21, 1899, directed that a warrant be applied for against the father.

Lily, Mabel and Violet Crockford were discharged to the Lambeth Union Schools on June 16, 1899.

Lily Crockford was discharged to Barnardo's Home on May 28, 1902. Mabel was sent to Miss MacPherson's Home for emigration on August 24, 1904.

In 1904, Mabel Crockford, 11, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 31 MacPherson children en route to Mr. Merry in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

A family story related that Lily was influential in bringing her two sisters Violet and Mabel here to Canada.

Mabel was placed with W. Siddall of Lambton, Ontario, Canada in 1904. (Children who had been inmates of Workhouses arriving in Canada between Dec. 1, 1903 and Oct. 31, 1904 and placed in situations by W. H. Merry, Miss Macpherson's Home, Stratford, Ont., Film 10622)
