TWIMC First, I would like to thank who ever turned us onto the url for the 1901 Cencus. In peruseing this document, I came upon the following entres and thought it might be of interest. 1901 Cencus Halifax A5 29 for the HeadSheit Blind Institute, and the following are Newfoundland Born. Donovan, Minnie b may 1885 RC imigrated to NS 1891 Bursey, Edgar b mar 1882 meth imigrated 1891 Morgan, Agustus b jun 1884 ce imigrated 1894 Anthony, Harry b sep 1884 ce imigrated 1894 McCarthy, James b mar 1886 rc imigrated 1894 Shirley, William b aug 1891 rc imigrated 1894 Fitzgerald, ----- b sep 1883 rc imigrated 1895 Byrne, James b jul 1891 rc imigrated 1895 At first I thought this was a orphanage, there were about 100 children being schooled at this establishment.It reminded me of the easy which family members go astray.These children would not be registered at their birth home in Newfoundland, and in our research it is possible to assume they had died. Also I was suprised at the number (hundreds) of young wemon that had left Newfoundland to become domistics in NS families, and in time would marry there.Again in Newfoundland they would most likely not be counted in the 1901 Cencus of their home towns of Newfoundland.It would be a massive under taking to glean all these strays from the NS Cencus, much less all thro out Canada.And their is no way to do a search.Maybe we should give some thought to gathering in the strays and put them in their rightful place in our family trees. Hope to help someone. Angus
