This information is taken from RG17 Vol 214, #22013 held in the National Archives of Canada. Although I cannot be sure, I believe this list was prepared by Miss Rye in answer to the problems which arose in 1875 when the Doyle Report was released. Mr. Doyle was sent in 1874 to inspect the children sent to Canada by the Unions (workhouses). His report was very negative about Miss Rye's work and she did not bring any children to Canada for a few years after the release of the report. This list of children is very odd in that each child appears in a list and is given a number. You then have to look at other pages and match the number to get the comments. I have tried to piece together the pages to give you a complete look at a child's record. The list is in the same order as given (thus the "A"s are together but not necessarily in strict alphabetical order). Occasionally you will see "Stet" which I believe was used to mean "as before." I also believe this list was for all of the children brought to Canada thus far [1878]. by © Marjorie P.

Numerous documents were used to obtain the list (which is a work in progress). These documents are in the collection of the National Archives of Canada. Names are given as they appear in the official records. The county in which the Union/workhouse is located is in square brackets. http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~marj/genealogy/children/lists/unionnames.html Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ sallypavia2001@yahoo.com “We have not inherited the world from our forefathers .. we have borrowed it from our children.” …..
