In 1924, Alice Carter Ashford, 16, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 88 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She declared that her object in going to Canada was to be a domestic servant; that she intended to remain permanently in Canada; that her final destination was c/o Mrs. Hobday, 538 Jarvis Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and that her next of kin was her mother, Mrs. Ashford, who resided at 20, Chambers Street, Hunsted, Leeds, Yorkshire, England.
