Subject: [UK-WORKHOUSE-HOSP] West Ham Union School 1901 - 1908
Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2007 14:46:58 -0400


Hello Group...
I am searching for information on my late grandfather's background.
His name was Henry GIBBS, said to have been born June 30, 1896 ( this may not be factual )
He was in West Ham Union School in Essex from 1901 - 1908 when he was sent to Canada to become a farmboy.
It was said he was sent with a group from the Church of England on board the S.S. Tunisian in July of 1908.
He has said the he recalled having an older brother that kind of looked out for him. Whether this was a brother or a older boy that took a liking to him we do not know. He passed away in 1958 so I was too young to ask him questions that may have been helpful to me now.
I would love to have any help I can get with my quest to know all of my roots.
Take Care,
Barbara
