In 1921, George Frederick Dew, 13, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 134 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He declared that his intended occupation was to do farm work; that he was born in London, England; that his passage was paid by Dr. Barnardo's Homes; that he was destined to his friend, Mr. J. W. Hobday, 50-52 Peter Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; that his nearest relation was his mother, Mrs. Dew, who resided at 10 Triangle Road, Mare Street, Hackney, London, England.

George was placed with Lemuel Pickett, Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada.
