Hello All, I am posting this question for a fellow Lister who is looking for her grandfather Joseph MARTIN who was a "British Home Child" born 3 April 1886 @ Queenstown Ireland. She is asking if any of these children were sent to Manitoba or Saskatchewan. I know there was a Barnardo Home @ Russel Manitoba. Does anyone know of any others in Manitoba or even Saskatchewan? There were 100,000 children sent from Britain to Canada between 1870 & 1948, some as young as 3 years old. It is estimated now that there are 4 million Canadian descendants of these children. Could you be one of them & not aware of it? There is a BRITISHHOMECHILDREN Mailing List.

Thanks for any help. Gerrie
