Can anyone offer any help - four relatives were sent to Canada in early 1900's as 'Home Children'. Have found death record for one, 10 years later in Ontario, but can't find any records for other three - have searched 1911 census but no luck. Any advice? |

Have a look at the www(.)collections Canada site . you can put in the childs name & approx year of emigration & you may find the ship they sailed on & what group[ they were in, The Percy Snow site too is good for info. My Mums elder half sister was a home child in 1909& I managed to find some of her children(now elderly) thro research thro that site and with the help of contacts made thro them |
