    3. Many thanks, Janet! I have forwarded this interesting site to the CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN list -- I feel many will enjoy it. Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> ----------------------------------------- I have just found an interesting account of travel of a group of children from the Douglas Industrial Home of the Isle of Man, associated with Mr. Quarrier and the Orphan Homes of Scotland. A group of children travelled from Isle of Man to Glasgow to Greenock, sailed aboard the SS Buenos Ayrean (Allan Line) on March 25, 1892 to Halifax, traveling on to the Brockville Fairknowe home. http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Contrib/manx/famhist/genealgy/can2.htm I hope this link works. It gives a daily diary of the trip on sea and travel and reception in Canada.
