Anne: I've been researching home children for some time and I subscribe to the British Home Children List. It's incredibly interesting, uplifting and sad at the same time when one reads the postings from people searching for some connection to family. I strongly suggest that you at least monitor the list - good advice and clear information. There are many many home children in the Townships - there were at least two agencies who had intake homes in the area (I know of one in Knowlton and one in Sherbrooke); Marj Kohle is the expert on who/what/where the homes were. Both of the families that I am researching in the area had home children 'billeted' with them (at least they had very young boys listed as lodgers on the various census records). Good luck, Heather Ioannou
