NotesVictoria Maud Burrows was admitted to Barnardo's care on December 11, 1901. Her younger sister, Rose Agnes Burrows (born June 18, 1899, Orpington, Kent) had been admitted on November 29, 1901, under a Magistrate's Order because Rose's mother Alice Burrows (daughter of William and Jemima Jeal Burrows), 22, was serving a two-month term in Holloway Prison doing hard labor for deserting Rose outside the church in St. Mary Cray. Victoria had been left by her mother, Alice, in the care of another woman who had taken her to the Guardians of Lambeth Workhouse. When Barnardo's took charge of the younger sister Rose they also arranged for Victoria to be admitted to their care. After her release from prison, Alice lived in a Salvation Army House in Hackney, London. Alice was not married at the time of the births of her daughters. (Possible fathers suggested: Mr. Green to Rose Agnes and Walter Turner to Victoria.)

There were several relatives of Alice mentioned in the girls' admission, including her father William, brothers Harry, George and William; sisters Eliza, Emma, Annie and Mary. Alice's mother had died
several years earlier.

In 1901, Victoria Maud Burrows, 3 years of age, was shown as an inmate in Bromley Union Workhouse, Farnborough, Kent, England, along with her sister, Rose Agnes Burrows, 1; and her mother, Alice Maud Burrows, 22. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 692; Folio: 87; Page: 23.)

In February, 1902, Victoria was at a Salvation Army Home in Hackney in East London. The two girls were not kept together but were re-united and introduced to each other before boarding Dominion.

In 1907, Victoria Maud Burrows, 9 (along with her sister, Rose Agnes Burrows, 8), arrived at Quebec, Canada, with a group of 243 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (NOTE: Both girls stayed in Ontario.)

The trip was memorialized by The Times, London, England, September 13, 1907; pg. 2; Issue 38437; col F:

DEPARTURE OF EMIGRANTS. --Dr. Barnardo's Homes, which for many years past have carried out a scheme of emigration of selected children to Canada and the Colonies, sent off from Paddington yesterday morning their fourth and last party for the current year; 135 of their boys and 100 girls left London for Liverpool, where they embarked in the afternoon on board the Dominion for Canada. Including these, 1,081 boys and girls have been sent forth by the homes in 1907, and their grand total of emigrants since the scheme was originated is now 19,276. Of these 98 percent. have done well. --- A party of emigrants who are being sent out by the Joint Emigration Committee of the East End Fund and Charity Organization Society left Euston on Wednesday evening for Liverpool to join the steamship Dominion, of the Dominion Line, for Canada. This brings the number of those who have been sent out by the committee this season up to more than 6,000, as compared with 3, 955 last year. The party are going out to join friends who have already settled in Canada. Mr. Robert Culver, the secretary of the committee, who has just returned from the Dominion, states that the families which he was able to visit were doing well and there were no complaints. An appeal is being made for further funds to enable the committee to send out a large number of people whose cases have been passed as suitable.

In 1911, Victoria Burrows, 15, was shown as a domestic to William H. and Margrett Latchford of Emily, Victoria-Haliburton, Ontario, Canada. Her date of birth is shown as May 1896 and her immigration year as 1912.
