NotesA birth registration was found for Charles Edward King: Year of Registration: 1889; Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar; District: Lambeth; County: Greater London, London, Surrey; Volume: 1d; Page: 525. Parents: James King and Harriet Elliott, married 1884, Lambeth, London, England.

Charles King and his siblings, Elizabeth; Emily; Ethel; Alice; Elsie; Albert; and George, were admitted March 15, 1899, to Lambeth Workhouse. They were transferred to Lambeth Union Schools on March 16, 1899.

Their mother, Harriet, was residing in Renfrew Road Workhouse. Their father, James, had been sent to prison for non payment of rates. The whole family were discharged April 24, 1899, but readmitted on April 27, 1899, with the exception of Emily who was admitted May 31, 1899. A warrant was granted against the father who was subsequently arrested on July 3, 1899, and sent again to prison for one month. Harriet King and two of her children, Albert and Emily, were discharged in care of James on August 15, 1899, leaving the other children for a time to enable James to get a home for them. His address was discovered to be 32 Brandon Road, Brixton. He then failed to take his children out when requested to do so and he was, once again, sent to prison for 3 months for neglecting to maintain them (November 7, 1899). Albert and Emily were readmitted November 3, 1899.

Their mother, Harriett, had various addresses given but all were crossed through in the records.

Elizabeth was sent into service.

George King died on August 4, 1899.

Charles was placed in the Fever Hospital from June 28 1899, to October 4, 1899.

He was discharged to Barnardo's Home on August 1, 1900.

In 1901, Elsie King, 3, Alice King, aged 6, Lily King, aged 11, and Albert King, aged 5, were all residing in the Lambeth Schools.


Feb 4 1903, first placed with Charles Stewart, Pheasant Forks, Assiniboia, now with Mathias Hiel, Neudorf, Assiniboia

Age 12, a good sized house but very untidy, employed at chores, good health, does not attend church, has had no schooling since he left England-a bright, intelligent boy, well spoken of by the neighbours.
Terms-to receive $13,50 for the first, $30 for second and $40 for the third years respectively
This boy went to Charles Stewart in October 1900 remaining until the middle of July 1901. Mr Stewart died in June and some time after his death the boy had a mishap with Mrs Stewarts team and left, going to Mr Hiel's where he is now, has no complaint against the Stewart's on the score of ill-usage, was well treated by them. But at Mr Hiel's he complains bitterly of ill treatment and is anxious to be removed. I think the boy is stating the truth and being a highly intelligent lad should be placed with some business man, though the boy himself is content to go on farming. I may add to the foregoing that I made enquiries of several neighbours who knew the boy, and all spoke highly of him.
