NotesLAC extraction: in 1870, Ellen Evans, 11, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 100 Maria Rye girls and 1 boy, en route to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, 40 were sent to Saint John, New Brunswick (not ID?d)

My Notes: From Doyle's Report Ellen Evans - A girl named Ellen Evans was sent out from Wolverhampton in the year 1870, Miss Rye informed me that she was placed with Mr. David Beattie, Westminister, adding she was "moved within the last month," that is in August 1874. With reference to that child, however, the following letter was addressed to an officer of the Wolverhampton Workhouse, not "last month" but just a year before the time that , according to Miss Rye's statement, the child was removed: "London Ontario, 31 July 1873"

Dear Sir I now take the liberty to write to you and let you know that a girl, by the name of Ellen Evans, who was brought to this country by Miss Rye, and it is her request that I should tell you she was with a family by the name of Beattie for two and a half years, where she took sore eyes and was blind four months, and only had the doctor once or twice, and getting tired of her place she came to my house and I repaired her clothes and got her a new situation, and she likes it very well, they have taken her to the doctor and her eyes are much better, she can see to work in the house but not to read or sew. She lost the envelopes and address that was given to her, and she cannot tell her age or where she is from. She wants to know if her father is living, Benjamin Evans, and sends her respects to her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Jermiah Evans. She is a big stout girl, and very civil and quiet. Please answer this soon. Address London, Ontario, C. W., Mrs. Alex Marr. The doctor says it is scrofula that is in the blood that makes Ellen's eyes sore, he says it will take about 12 months before they are better. I have a large family of my own, and I had pity on her. Ellen Marr
