NotesIn 1895, W. J. Stuart [sic on the LAC], 15, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of Barnardo boys: 150 boys to Toronto, Ontario, and 52 older boys to Russell, Manitoba, Canada. [EDITORS NOTE: Both on the outgoing manifest from England and the incoming manifest at Canada, it is reflected that this boy's name is W. J. Smart. No identifying information has been found for him at this time, however.]

It is possible that this is the same boy mentioned in the August 1895 edition of the Barnardo's magazine Ups and Downs:

W. S. Stuart, Zion, Ont:

"I have arrived safe at my situation and am very pleased with it. They are very nice people who I am with and I hope to say here for some time."
