When I wrote to Gail Collins to ask her if I could post her work on the British Home Children to the Bowles list, she added the following information. For more, you'll have to write to her directly.

Maria Rye brought many British Home Children to Canada from 1869-1896 where many of them would have first started out at Our Western Home in Niagara- on-the-Lake. Both my gg's were BHC's coming with Rye so I have a great interest in her and am with the help of Chris Sanham in West Sussex creating a database of names. Our first line of attack are the passenger lists and todate we have over 4100 names. One resource I have is a 1875 Inspection Report which lists the names of the Guardian/Employers and I thought many of you might be surprised to find that one of your ancestors was responsible for a Home Child. For further information as to the BHC's name, please contact me.
