NotesA birth registration was found for Robert George Hamerton: Year of Registration: 1890; Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar; District: Lambeth; County: Greater London, London, Surrey; Volume: 1d; Page: 529. Parents: Robert Henry Hamerton and Annie Willis, married 1880 in Dover, Kent, England.

Robert George Hamerton was admitted to the Lambeth Union Infirmary on August 12, 1896 and discharged to Norwood School, Lambeth Union on January 16, 1897.

Brothers Frederick and Edwin entered Lambeth Union Schools on March 11, 1897, after their mother, Annie, died at 1 Paddy Lane, New Park Road, Brixton Hill on February 25, 1897. Their father, Robert Henry Hamerton, deserted all of his children.

Their brother Charles Hamerton was residing c/o Mr. Goddard 24 Water Lane Brixton. Their sister, Annie Hamerton was in service at 50 Lyham Road.

Their father arrested and sentenced to 3 months hard labour on February 28, 1899. After his discharge he was allowed up to the 17th of June to take his children; he did not take them.

Frederick enlisted in the 2nd Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry.

A warrant was once again taken against their father and he was arrested on November 21, 1899, and sentenced to prison for one month. After release, he was sent to the Princes Road Workhouse. In November, 1904, he was placed in the Infirmary.

On June 12, 1901, Robert Hamerton was discharged to Barnardo's Home.

In 1901, Robert Hammerton, 11, arrived in Quebec, in a large group of Barnardo children: 239 to Toronto, Ontario; 68 to Winnipeg, Manitoba; 20 to Russell, Manitoba; and 3 to Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Barnardo's Ups & Downs, Double Number, VOL VIII APRIL - MAY 1902, No. 1, reported that Robert Geo. Hammerton, had been placed with Robert Faulkner, Fallwowfield, Ontario, Canada.

22 September 1902

Age 12, home fairly satisfactory, employed helping with housework, good health, has not attended Church or School here. Good Character. Terms-$120 payable of 1st April 1907, and two years schooling. This child is not in my opinion suited for his situation, and I gatheered that there existed some prejudice against him on the part of Mrs Faulkner. They have another boy from the same agency which may account for this. They find it necessary to punish the lad otherwise they state that he would be unmanageable. The boy complains of whippings and would like to leave. Mrs Faulkner states they will send him to the Hornerite Church after a time.
