"Sixteenth Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 1886-87; Copy of Reports of Inspection of Children sent out to Canada, as of February 12, 1887.

Report of Mr. J. A. Donaldson, Government Immigration Agent, at Toronto, Ontario.

Sarah Lawton, aged 14, from parish of Stoke-upon-Trent, placed with B. F. Kendall, Bradford. This girl was at Mr. Kendall's and three other places in succession at Bradford, but at all the places got a bad name for stubborn disposition, and untruthfulness. Was removed last winter by Miss Rye and has since been visited by Mr. Smith."

Sarah Lawton, spinster, returned to England on September 4, 1894, on the ship Vancouver.
