	You can look for them on the 1901 and 1911 Canadian censuses here, if the time frame fits : http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/index.html Sometimes these children were adopted by the families that took them so had their surnames changed.
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
