Hello Julia, 8 Vernon St., Newark in 1911 was occupied by a Frank DAVISON and his family, with no mention of a HEATH. http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/ has historical directories for all parts of England and Wales.

He states that he was born in Portsmouth [Hampshire] ca 1898 and gives his next of kin as his Grandfather, Mr J? Heath, who lives at 8 Vernon Street, Worksop, Nottinghamshire. I have a date of birth index for him in 1900, Alverstoke, Hampshire. It would not be unusual for young men enlisting in WW1 to put up their age. He may also have arrived in Canada in 1913 as a 'farm boy'. > > Does Nottinghamshire have any directories on line which I could search, please?

I should have added that the address search does not find a Vernon St. in Worksop.

There was and still is a Vernon Street in Worksop - off Netherton Road. Abbeyhurst Children's Home existed for many years before becoming social services offices and, I believe, nowadays an evangelical church. I have not followed every message in this thread but listing his next-of-kin as residing at an address does not necessarily mean that he himself also lived there? Is there an indication the he is in fact the same person who lived at the children's home?
