A death registration was found for Alice Lonsdale: Date: Oct-Nov-Dec 1918; Age at Death: 44; District: Mile End Old Town; County: London; Volume: 1c; Page: 652

Albert and his brother, William, were placed because their very elderly father's wife, their mother, had died and he was in no condition of health to look after the young boys on his own. His older son had a very large family himself and was not in a position to take in the boys and so William Sr. had agreed to send the boys to Canada, understanding that they would work in a placement and then be allowed to return to England when they were old enough.

In 1921, Albert Edward Lonsdale, 9, 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 father, Mr. W. Lonsdale, c/o Post Office, Gravesend, England.

Albert was first placed with Edward Campbell in Battean, R.1, Nottawasaga, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.

A juvenile inspector reported [T-15424]:

LONSDALE, Albert Ed 9 1921 Barnardo's, to Batteau in Simcoe Co., to Mr Wesley Leonard in Stayner (Boy does not like situation at times. Emp. states boy lacks interest); to D. McMillen also in Stayner; to Uxbridge.

Albert Edward Lonsdale married first, Roberta Lurli Eileen Andrus. His second marriage was to Dorothy Bell.
