"... One of the female "Home Children" was assigned to live with my grandparents. At the time of the child's arrival in Canada she was six years old and understandably had few positive memories of her life in an English orphanage.

In later life when asked for details of her trans-Atlantic voyage all she could recall was, "I came to Halifax from Liverpool on a great big ship . . ."

Thanks to passenger lists on the Internet, I was able to ascertain the precise date of her arrival in Halifax during the summer of 1904. I was helped in my search by knowing her distinctive name - Rose Case. She travelled on the liner the SS Cartheginian. Sadly, this ship was later to be torpedoed during World War One.

... Following graduation from High School she emigrated, like so many of her contemporaries in the 1920s, to the United States, settling in Jamaica Plain near Boston. It was here that she met her husband, Cape Bretoner Douglas MacLean. Each summer they returned "home" to visit old friends and relatives. Both died within months of each other in 1945."
