Last evening I received a telephone call from a member of the GEARING
> family who lives in Courtice, County Durham, Ontario. He was able to
> provide further information I was looking for on this family. One of the
> things he told me was that his grandfather, Joseph GEARING, along with
> his brother Ernest GEARING, were Barnardo boys, arriving in the Durham
> County area at a young age.
>
> I took a look in the 1881 British census, and found:
>
> 52 Trinity Road, Beckenham, Kent, England
>
> GEARING, George head 25 gardener born Upper Norwood,
> Surrey
> GEARING, Mary A. wife 24 born Titsey, Surrey
> GEARING, Ernest M. son 2 born Thornton Heath,
> Surrey
> GEARING, Joseph son 4/mo born Beckenham, Kent
>
> I am almost sure that this is the family I am looking for, as the ages are
> correct and I do know that Joseph GEARING was born in Kent in 1880/81.
