NotesIn 1871, John Phelps, 11 years of age, was shown as an inmate of the Marlborough Workhouse, Elcot, Marlborough, Wiltshire. (Source: 1871 Census of England; Class: RG10; Piece: 1906; Folio: 74; Page: 22; GSU roll: 830867.)

In 1871, John Phelps, 7, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 137 Maria Rye children en route to Niagra, Ontario, Canada.

From Families Vol. 34, No.2, 1995:

"On 13 November 1873, the Master of the (Marlborough Union) Workhouse, Mr. Childe, reported that he had written to the authorities at Marchmont, Belleville, to ask about the two boys, Frank SHEPPARD and John PHELPS, who had been in the party which emigrated in July 1871, and that he had received a very satisfactory reply. There is no further information about the children."
