NotesHe came to Canada in 1920 at the age of 15 on the Minnedosa as part of a group of 37 children. His name is listed on Library and Archives' Home Child Records as Richard O’Mahoney. They were being sent by the Catholic Emigration Association to St. Georges’ Home in Ottawa. Most children in his group were under the age of 14. Three of them were just six.
According to the October 22, 2016 article, Toronto Historist, “Born in Ireland during the first decade of the 20th century, he (Fifi) was placed in an orphanage at age five. He was sent to Canada…where he performed farm work and was abused at school. He ran away to join a circus in his teens.”
