NotesIn 1883, Harriet Simms, 12, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 126 children en route to various destinations.

"Fifteenth Annual Report of the Local Government Board (1885-1886) 1884-1885.

Report of Mr. A. G. Smith, Government Immigration Agent, at London, Ontario.

Harriet Simms, aged 12. With Mr. J. U. Ridley, near Park Hill. I did not see this girl, the Ridleys moved to Michigan, United States, last spring and took the girl with them. A lady of Park Hill told me she was well taken care of and much attached to Mrs. Ridley. I can yet find her and see her personally if necessary."
