Hello Helena: There is a William and an Emily who were Home Children and sent over to Canada. Both were sent my Middlemore homes in Birmingham. Do you think Emily could be another name for Emma?100,000 children were sent over to Canada to work on farms. There is also a William James Tranter in WW1. This could be William's son as I know in my research these family names were carried on for generations. I will do more research and get back to you. There are quite a few different sites on these home children. My father, George Frederick Burlton, was also a home child and sent over to Canada. Records and photos taken at the time of admission are availabe for a nominal fee.

They had 2 children Ann Emma 1865 Birmingham and William James 1867 Bath Row Birmingham. Hannah died in 1871. I have found William James with Hannah's sister and her family (Calloway) on the 1871 census but then nothing on him or the rest of the family. Has anyone anything on the family? > > > Helena > > Visit the Bladon Web site at > > www.bladon.me.uk > _____________________________________________ > Tracing Ancestors in Birmingham: > http://www.bham.de/ > > Any problems, please contact the List Admin: ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM-admin@rootsweb.com > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
