Notesa birth of a Frank Frederick W Millerick was registered in Oct Qtr of 1908 in Brighton

Nora, Ruth and Frank were all the children on Frank George Millerick and his wife Mary Elizabeth Baker. Nora and Ruth were twins. They also had several other siblings which included Mary Alice and Kathleen. It is not know what happened in this family which caused these children to be placed in care, but this branch of the family tree never seemed to do well financially.On September 28th, 1921 Ruth and Nora arrived in Canada, brought by the Dr. Barnardo Homes. The girls would be taken to the Hazelbrae Home in Peterborough, Ontario. Their father is listed on their immigration as their next of kin. It is not known at this time where these girls were place.

Nora married Ray Kilmer and had at least one child, Ruth Kilmer on June 20 1936 in St. Thomas, Ontario. Ruth Kilmer passed away on May 25, 1963 in Toronto. Nora lost her husband in 1951. She passed away on March 9, 2002 in St. Thomas, Ontario.

Ruth married Arthur Pritchard on November 30 1929 at the age of 17. Witness to this marriage was her sister Nora who was not yet married. It is not known at this point if Ruth and Arthur had children.

On April 19 1924 their brother Frank also arrived in Canada, brought by the Dr. Barnardo Homes. He was aboard the HMS Montclare. It is not known at this time where he was taken but we do know at some point Frank would return to England. He was married on April 19, 1924 to Agnes Bristow. It is likely they had children. Frank enlisted in the Navy and lost his life on November 16 1940 when the HMS Swordfish he was serving as a Stoker aboard, sunk in the English Chanel. Frank is memorialized on the beautiful Chatham Naval Memorial in Medway, Kent, England.

His Commonwealth War Grave record reads: Casualty Details Name: MILLERICK, FRANK FREDERICK Initials: F F Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Stoker 1st Class Regiment/Service: Royal Navy Unit Text: H.M. Submarine Swordfish Age: 32 Date of Death: 16/11/1940 Service No: C/KX 79882 Additional information: Son of Frank Frederick and Mary Elizabeth Millerick; husband of Agnes Elizabeth Millerick, of Hastings, Sussex. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: 38, 2.Memorial: CHATHAM NAVAL MEMORIAL

I also found that the oldest sister Mary Alice Elizabeth Millerick went to Canada in Aug 1925. Her passage was assisted by the Ontario government, and she went as a landed immigrant, intending to be a domestic. She married in Canada on April 11 1928 to George Ayling.

Also at some point their father Frank George would also come to Canada. He would return to England in 1954 and passed away in 1963 in Sussex.
