NotesParents: Henry Jobson (Driver Royal Artilary) and Sarah Elizabeth Wagstaff, married October 22, 1861, at Aston, Warwickshire, England.

A death registration was found for Sarah Elizabeth Jobson: Date: Apr-May-Jun 1882; Age: 41; District: Birmingham; County: Warwickshire; Volume: 6d; Page: 16.

Frederick and Harriett Jobson were taken from their Father, Henry (a discharged solider), and placed in the Middlemore home in 1883, sometime after their mother had died. Their father could not look after them. They did have older siblings who were taking care of themselves, but I do not know their names, or any other circumstances of their life. Frederick did not remember his life in England or who his family were.

In 1884, Fredrick R. Jobson, 5 (along with sister, Harriet Jobson, 8) arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 93 Middlemore children en route to various destinations.

Frederick and Harriet (Hattie) arrived at the Guthrie Home in London, Ontario, Canada, where they were split up.

Harriet spent years trying to find him and to arrange for him to live with her, but the agency would not tell her where he was and would not allow her to contact him. It was a bitter disappointment that she never could and she regretted it her whole life.

Harriet was sent to work as a servant. The story is that she was treated very badly for years until she married John Kellestine.

(Harriett was the sister of my Husband's grandfather Frederick, if any of her direct descendants wish to claim her, please feel free to do so. - L. Jobson)
