NotesThank you very much for your letter recej.ved on the l-st February and r do hope our temporary acknowledgement letter reached you safely.
We have researched our Barnardo records and as they are on microfilm, I am writing out the story surrounding your father, Albert Bullock's admission to Barnardors with his brother, Sidney.

Albert and Sidney were admitted to Dr. Barnardors on the llth February, 1914. Albert was born on the l4th Ju1y, 19o5 and sidney on the 3rd March, L907, both in Guernsey. Albert had been baptised - the father
was Salvati-on Army and the mother, lrlesleyan. The father, Charles Albert Bullock, a coachman had died from a tumour on the 31st october, 1913 in Guernsey. He left the mother, sarah rabitha Burlock, aged 46 with thirteen children - eight of whom were with her. Three of the children
were earning and the mother received a grant from the parj-sh. Because of her large family this prevented her from outside employment. The sister Lilian was with her aunt, but met with an accident by purring a. kettle of boiling water over herself and it was feared if she survived,
she would be tercibry disfigured. Albert was healthy, though pale and thin and had had Measles.
Other relatives menti.oned in the records are the brothers, Wi11iam, aged 25 who was a chauffeur and married who lived in Guernsey. Edward, aged 19 was a barman in Guernsey, Frederick, aged, 23. George was aged 2l and a coachman, charles aged 16 was a driver, Jack aged 14 was a bus boy, Arthur aged 11 and Henry aged ! were with the mother. The sisters' were Alice, aged 17 who was at l,rloodford, Essex, Lillian Bertha, aged 9 was with the aunt and Lillian Florence, aged 3 was with the mother.
The paternal grandmother, Mrs. Browning was B! and she lived in Guernsey. The maternal uncles were George Browning, aged T0 a farmer of Moulin Huck, Elias Browning, aged 60 h,as a grocer in Guernsey, David aged 42 was a gardener in Guernsey. The aunt, Mrs. Sudrlbn; aged 44 was married to a grocer and they too lived in Guernsey. A11 ages given as at the time of admission in 1p14 and application was made by a local Baptist Minister in Guernsey whose church had assisted Barnardo's by making collections.

When A1bert and Sidney were admitted to Barnardo t s, they stayed at our Clapham Home in the South West of London prior to sailing to Canada on the 10th september, 1914 on the s. s. corinthian arriving in Quebec on the 22nd September that year. Al-bert was boarded out with a Mr. Les1ie Fleming at Hillside, Ontario and did well at home and at school and in l97T went to Mr. Robert Keown at Dwight, Ontario and continued to be in good health, was a good willing lad, active and obedient.
rn L923 he was employed by Mr. charles cunningham at Dwight who ran a large Summer resort in the bay and Albert was employed as a porter and general handyman and was said to be a big husky fellow in good health. rn 1925 he was in a lumber camp and in tgz7 was employed by the North Navigation co. , south Portage, as a deck hand on a boat and rived with his brother sidney in south Portage. fn t9z9 Albert heard from his brother, Henry and his mother was still in Guernsey and anxious to have
news of her children. In 1929 we learnt he had married and was a fireman on a boat and lived on the edge of Huntsville Lake. When Sidney arrived in Canada he was boarded out with lth. Fleming with his brother and made good progress. He too moved to Mr. Robert Keown at Dwight and in 1923 was employed by Mr. William Keown at South Portage and in L925 was working in a lumber camp on canoe Lake, ontario. rn L925 he was employed by Mr. Robert Wright of Portage cutting wood and was well spoken of in the district and in 1927 was married and occupied a house in South Portage and was employed by the Northern Navigation Company. In l)2) he was working on the miniature tailway running between
the Portages on the Huntsville and Lake of Bays Navigation Co. and in 1929 we heard from his brother, Albert saying that Sidney had met with a serious aceident, he arm being eut vrith an axe.
I do hope this information will able to provide photographs and I the five pictures I am enclosing
