NotesIn 1890, H C Carpenter, 14, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 141 Barnardo children: 11 to Manitoba, 130 to Ontario, Canada.

On December 20 1899 Charles H. Carpenter, 22, stone mason, married Elizabeth Deeves (Daves), 22, daughter of Stephen Daves and Catherine Miller. Charles was the son of Charles Carpenter and Elizabeth Lloyd. He was born in Stans England.

In April of 1899 this announcement of his marriage appeared in that month's Ups and Downs -

"Since the last issue of Ups and Downs one of our old friends Charles H. Carpenter, has, like a sensible man, taken unto himself a wife. The happy event took place on December 28th, and the young couple have taken up their quarters at Dungannon. We speak on behalf of all Charles's former friends and acquaintances in wishing him every happiness and blessing upon his married life."

In July 1900, this announcement of his death appeared in the Ups and Downs -

"A horrible mill accident caused the instant death of Charles Carpenter, a namesake but no relative of James, on May 19th. Charles had been employed for some time previously in Goldthorpes saw mill near Dungannon, County Huron. He was attending to his duties in the mill on the date mentioned, when by some mischance he was caught by the foot by the large circular saw and his body severed in two. At the time of his death Charles had been in Canada nearly ten years and in a recent issue of Ups and Downs we had made the announcement of his marriage to the daughter of a well-known family in the neighbourhood. We invited our readers at the time to join us in congratulating the young couple, and they will now share our sympathy with the young wife whom this sudden and terrible calamity has so soon left a widow."

Elizabeth, his widow, remarried in 1903 to James Alexander Carroll.
