If anyone is related to or researching a William ELLIS who came from Liverpool England in 1910 as a 14-year-old Home Child, I have a photograph of him. The picture is actually of my grandfather (George Howard) and William as boys taken just before they sailed together to Canada. I looked up Ellis on the new Home Children National Archives site (which is pretty good, by the way) and he did indeed sail on the same ship as my grandfather (the Corsican) and had the same destination - Sherbrooke (Gibbs Home for Boys). In my family oral history there is no further mention of Ellis, so I guess they lost touch once they got to Canada, but Ellis' name is on the back of the photo. One point of interest though is that my grandfather said he saw the Titanic as it was being built near the place where his ship was sailing from. My grandfather ended up in Shefford Co. - dropped off the train at Cleary Station. The photograph is actually a very nice example of the way in which the Homes attempted to portray the children as "good, clean, healthy, diligent-looking" in their standard little suits with the short pants. If anyone is interested, contact me. Heather Howard-Bobiwash Toronto
