NotesA birth registration was found for Rosa Dunn: Year of Registration: 1892; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: Bideford; County: Devon; Volume: 5b; Page: 484. Parents: Richard Dunn and Charlotte Vanstone, married 1889 in Bideford, Devonshire, England.

A death registration was found for Charlotte Dunn: Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869; Year of Registration: 1902; Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun; Age at Death: 33; District: Bideford; County: Devon; Volume: 5b; Page: 319.

Family and friends helped the family out for a while after the death of Charlotte. Rose and her brothers, Richard and John, were admitted to Barnardos on September 6, 1904.

In 1905, Rose Dunn, 11, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of Barnardo children: 87 boys to Toronto, and 89 girls to Peterborough, Ontario, accompanied by Mrs. Clare Butterworth, Mrs. Alice Walker, Mabel Walker, and Mrs. Manning.

From 1905 until July 17, 1907, Rose was placed in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, with Ernest Moseley and family, who was a hardware dealer in the area. Other placements were in Graystock, Ontario, with Fred Collins and family, and in Browns, Ontario, with the Stirling family. From November 7, 1908, to July 3, 1909, Rose was placed with Edgar Wood and family and this is where she met her husband, William Wilson Drimmie.

On November 16, 1909, at Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Rosa Maud Dunn, 18, daughter of Richard Dunn and Charlotte Vanstone; and William Wilson Drimmie, 32, widower, farmer, born to Irvine Drimmie and Agnes Wilson.

Rosa told family members that the best years of her life were the last ten with her husband, who was a loving and kind man who was good to her. William Wilson Drimmie was born in 1877 in Aberdeen, Scotland. He was educated as a civil engineer before he emigrated to Canada.

Their first child was born in and died the next year. They had three more children: Irvine; Rose; and Roy Drimmie.

Rose Dunn Drimmie died on April 24, 1922, in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, from pulmonary tuberculosis. Her date of birth was recorded on her death certificate as June 11, 1893; her place of birth is recorded as Pannington, England; her father's name was shown as Richard Dunn, but her mother's name was not known. The informant was her husband, William Drimmie, who resided at RR No. 7, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

William Wilson Drimmie died about 1933 of cancer. They are both buried at Fife's Cemetery in Indian River, Ontario, Canada.
