Notes Elizabeth Ann Fern was taken to Canada, aged 10, along with her sister Lucy and brother William on the SS Bavarian by the McPherson home in Bethnal Green, in the east end of London. They seem to have ended up there from the Fulham Union in west London. They weren't orphans, their mother had died, but their father who was a plasterer was still alive. We think he knew that they were being taken and let them go, but are not sure. The eldest sister Anne was sent 5 years before them and another, the youngest, Ellen who died soon afterwards, came a year later on the Tunisian. Once in Canada, they were split up. A baby brother George was left behind and adopted in England.
