NotesPapers of the Middlemore Children's Emigration Homes reveal:
It was the father of the children, George Allsupp, who 'gave' his three children to the Home. The date was Oct 15, 1877. He told them that the mother was dead and they were living in a Lodging House (Mrs. Smith's). When the wife lived they had a tidy house; after her death he went rambling about the country (not sure that children rambled with him). He had buried four children. The Home considered the case urgent and the children were accepted into the Home.

In 1878, M. A. Allsupp, 5 (along with sister, Eliza Allsupp, 11, and brother, John Allsup, 3), arrived at Quebec, Canada, with a group of 88 Middlemore children en route to London, Ontario, Canada.

Mary Ann did not spent much time in Guthrie Homes. The first record for her is dated June 20, 1878 and she is going to live with the Thomas Symons family in Horning Mills, Dufferin Co., Ont. This first record indicates that the Thomas Symons family will be adopting her. There are several reports for her (last one dated Feb 1888) and they all say her health is good, the general condition of the home is good and behaviour very satisfactory. I believe that Mary Ann remained in this family home until her marriage in 1902.

On December 24, 1902, at Perth, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Mary Ann Allsupp, 29, born in England to George Allsupp and Jane Mattie; and George Albert Orvis, 29, farmer, born in Melanchton, Ontario, Canada, to Isaac Brown Orvis and Margaret Ritchie.

George Albert and Mary Ann Allsupp Orvis had at least 3 children: Isaac George Orvis, born November 11, 1903, at Dufferin, Ontario, Canada; Eva Mary Orvis, born May 1, 1905, and died May 5, 1905, of marasmus at Dufferin, Ontario, Canada; and an unnamed, stillborn son, born December 13, 1908 and died December 14, 1908, of marasmus and convulsions, at Melanchton, Ontario, Canada.
