    1. [SCT-ISLAY] Ontario adoptions
    2. Ken Harrison
    3. Amongst my Islay folk, there were several "adoptions" in Canada of orphans. Some of these I have been able to sort out, but one of the ones closest to me (a great great aunt) has been elusive. She was born in Ontario (presumably) in 1902 and I have from family papers her assumed actual birth date. I have been unable to find her birth in Ontario records under either her adoptive surname, or her presumed (from family rumour) birth surname. I have also tried to find her by her given name only, with her exact birth date. No luck. I do not know exactly where she was born. Is there a register of adoptions for Ontario for this period?
