Hello, On one of the N.S. Lists this week the surname, ROSS, was mentioned. That jogged my memory as I think one of the Home Children I research went to a ROSS family. I was curious how many researchers on this List have found out that one of the families / couples did take in a Home Child. It was probably 5-6 yrs. ago when a helpful researcher on the BHC List was able to tell me which families took in the 4 LEWIS children and the 5 CORKILL children arriving in 1874. And, I'm pretty sure I posted the families' names on the Lists at that time. I don't believe I ever found out much about those families, except for the MacDONALD family where Mary CORKILL spent some time. I can mention that the 3 LEWIS girls were probably not related to my "Stanley." I found out Josephine, 14, probably married into a LANE family. I never found out what happened to Elizabeth, ~11, and Mary, ~9. http://www.britishhomechildren.org/ The 2, new "BHC Quilts" should be completed and available for viewing before summer gets here. And, we have found out there is a magazine about Canada's histories, and the Editor has decided to publish a special edition which will include a group of "BHC stories" contributed by their descendants. A picture of my Stanley and Mary is in one of the quilts, and my story about them is included in the "anthology" to be published soon. * Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) * I had already written up a report on Stanley and Mary's .13. children, and sent the unfinished report to 6 of their descendants. I have a small report on the CORKILL ancestors which I will send out next month. I now have a picture of the 3 sisters, but their 2 very young brothers never had children. The oldest brother in B.C. had descendants, but I don't think they had a picture of him. http://www.historysociety.ca/bea.asp P.S. Mrs. Graham did not respond to my letter in regard to the McNUTT family of Charles and Julia. I'll send her the CORKILL story to remind her.
