NotesA birth registration was found for Rainer Frederick Knowlden: Year of Registration: 1889; Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar; District: Lambeth; County: Greater London, London, Surrey; Volume: 1d; Page: 373. Parents: Arthur Edward Knowlden and Jane Stolt (formerly Gall).

Emily, Rainer Frederick and Christopher Wren Knowlden were admitted to Norwood School, Lambeth Union, London, England, on April 11, 1895.

Emily Knowlden was sent to service on May 1896 with Mrs. Catterson, 14 Ashlake Road, Streatham, London, England.

The boys were discharged on February 17, 1897 to their father.

The boys were readmitted on January 14, 1898. On April 17, 1899, their father took the boys out of Norwood School, having obtained work. They were living at 132 Vauxhall Walk. He then deserted the boys and they were re-admitted to the workhouse on July 4, 1899.

Rainer was discharged to Norwood School on July 6, 1899. Christopher was admitted to the infirmary on July 17, 1899 and discharged to Norwood School on July 26, 1899.

Their father, Arthur Edward Knowlden, was residing at the Princes Road Workhouse at the time of their admittance. Their mother, Jenny Knowlden, was dead. The boys were discharged to Barnardo's Homes on August 1, 1900.

In 1900, Raymond Knowlden, 9 (along with brother, Chris Knowlden, 11) arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 101 Barnardo boys en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Raymond Knowlden was placed on the farm of R. Breadner, Grey County, Ontario, Canada.

April 12 1902

Age 14, very comfortable home, employed at general chores, good health, attends Methodist Church, good character. Terms-$100 at the end of four years. This lad states that he is comfortable and happy here. I am inclined to think they expect rather much of him considering his age. He did not attend school last winter, Mr Breadner states because they were building and could not spare him.
