NotesIn 1901, the Warren family was residing at 25 St. Johns Road, Deptford St Paul, London, England. Family members included at that time: Amy Warren, 20; Annie Warren, 1; and Ernest Warren, 21, clerk (printers). (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 534; Folio: 82; Page: 12.)

A birth registration was found for Norman Claude Warren; Year of Registration: 1906; Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar; District: Greenwich; County: Greater London, Kent, London; Volume: 1d; Page: 1117.

Ernest Henry WARREN, died of tuberculosis at the age of 34 in 1916. He left a widow, Amy Eliza (Duffin) WARREN with 10 young children, including twins, Graham and Alexander born in 1915.

Amy Eliza WARREN remarried in March 1918, to an Australian soldier, J. B. Campbell, and they immigrated to Australia sometime in 1919. Amy Eliza WARREN gave some of her children up to The National Childrens Home (Norman Claude and Ernest Henry).

In 1921, Norman Claude Warren, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 52 children en route to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Records show that he worked on various farms, but he was unhappy in Canada and never settled, finding his way to the USA by 1929.

The last contact received by the National Childrens Home from Norman was in 1929, when he was living in New York, USA. He wrote to them asking for a copy of his Birth Certificate. He was hoping to get a job as a taxi driver, while working as a waiter in a night club. However, he didn't seem to have a permanent address, and the Certificate was returned to the National Childrens Home.

There is a marriage registration in Manhattan, New York between Agnes King and Norman C. Warren for 25th May 1930. (Not yet proven this is the correct Norman C. Warren.)

Family legend states he was an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and died in service.
