1. George, William, Bert(herbert) May possible home children [1]
My name is Todd May and I'm trying to find my Grandfathers family (he was the original mystery man!) His name was Reginald May b. 17 Dec 1889, '90, '91, or '92 in Bow London England.

We have been told these brothers were shipped to Canada, although we can fi

Angus; please let us know how the interview goes, I would like to have some answers as to why it is so hard to get information from Barnardo's. They take forever to return anything, Does the British Government have a Web Site so that the families of Home Children could access and obtain very important information. I have been waiting for along time now, for a reply and I think that it will be an extremely long frustrating wait. Trouble is, age waits for now man and neither does time. Perhaps Barnardo's c

7. Other Canadian records? [0.982497]
Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has already been able to find information for Canadian BHC from sources other than the ones usually mentioned here. I would think people have tried everything however.. If a BHC applied for Canadian Old Age Security (which I think started about 1952) has anyone tried seeing if the government still has a record of the information supplied at the time of application (proof of birth / baptism and length of time in Canada)? Has anyone found that a Home Child wa

Sophiee, I e-mailed Mary Gandy at CCWC@compuserve.com for infomation on Catholic sending homes and she suggested I e-mail Rosemary Keenan at the Catholic Children's Society (Westminster) and ask her to check in the central Catholic index of all children and young people sent to Canada by Catholic organizations, adding if his name appeared there may be little or no information on him but it would point to any additional information that exists. However, she did not give methe e-mail address. I replied ask

11. Of Special Interest [0.982497]
Of special interest to all of you, there will be an historical plaque put up by the Government of Canada in Stratford, Ontario sometime next summer. I will try to keep you informed so you know when and where. In case anyone wants to know why Stratford, they were looking for an early location of a home where the children were sent. They also wanted it to be in a fairly high-traffic area if possible so that it would be seen. If possible, they wanted a location where the home still stood. The Macpherso
12. Enquiry details ? [0.982497]
Hello Listers, I would like to enquire of those Listers who have corresponded with Barnardos Home in Britain. What are the most significant details required by Barnardos when searching HOME CHILDREN records? I hesitate to add to their work load with only skimpy details.

Hi Gerrie: Just don't let them hang you up in the local museum! I could not get an e-mail through to Barnado's as I had the wrong aftercare address (missing an s at the end of Barnardos so Walter (one of our chat people) contacted Frances Brewer the lady who does the research for Barnardos and she sent me an e-mail.

Hello again listers: When my BHC arrived in Canada in 1921 - would his files (Birth Reg. etc) have been brought over and given to the Ottawa receiving/dispensing home? My cousin in England wondered, and I didn't think of it...should I check the Archives...? Thanks for any ideas.

Hi Betty: I think I know what you mean. Marj Kohli's site has a lot of info about ships and links to the ships. You would think there would be more interest as you mention, but who knows. I've typed the Sarnia enough times to know it shows up a lot on our BHC website. Don't know what else to suggest right now. Dave Lorent
