In 1890, Alfred Johns, 18, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 141 Barnardo children: 11 to Manitoba, 130 to Ontario, Canada.

Alfred is mentioned in the August 1895 edition of Ups and Downs:

ALF JOHNS

Alfred Johns, who is working at Clarke, also finds solace in the same direction. Here is what Alfred says:--

"Having a few spare moments I seized the opportunity of answering your letter which I received last Tuesday, about subscribing for Ups and Downs. I am very glad you have thought about this. I hope and think it will be a success. I would have subscribed even had it been twice as much . . . I must tell you a little about myself. . . . I am a Sunday school teacher. This is my second year, and I am glad to say that I have now two and sometimes three of Dr. Barnardo's boys in my class. I have hired to Mr. John G___ for eleven dollars a month. This is as much as any Canadian man is getting for wages have gone down round these parts."

May God bless teacher and scholars and may Alfred have much happiness in his labour of love.

On January 11, 1899, at Clarke, Durham, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Alfred Johns, 26, farmer, born in England, to Joseph Johns and Emma Cornwall; and Mary A. Marshall, 19, born in Clarke, Durham, Ontario, Canada, to Alexander Marshall and Elizabeth Staples.

At least 5 children were born in this marriage: George Edward Johns, born April 21, 1900, at Clarke, Durham, Ontario, Canada; Joseph Alexander Johns, born July 31, 1901, at Victoria, Ontario, Canada; Olive May Johns, born December 13, 1910, at Peterborough, Ontario, Canada; Grace Johns, born about 1904; and Wesley Johns, born about 1905.

On June 5, 1912, Alfred Henry Johns, 40, laborer, born in Birmingham, England, to Joseph Johns, died in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, after sustaining a fracture of his skull and an injury to his brain while trying to stop a runaway horse.
