Hello, I am trying to help a researcher in Canada try to find out what happened to 3 LOCKHART children - who arrived in Canada as "British Home Children." I did a look-up for him, and found a possible match-up with a Robert LOCKHART living in or near Los Angeles in 1910 and 1920. For his occupation, I am having trouble reading the handwriting. It seems to be: Iron Inc ____ in a New____ or Rew_____ (place of work). I was wondering if anyone knew what that occupation was ! Was there an Iron Foundry in or near LA at that time? In 1920 Robert was working in a Silver Mine ! Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. For more information on the "British Home Children," please visit this web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/ And, check out all the other web sites on the subject in the "links" area. In general, between ~1860 and ~1930, over 100,000 children were shipped out of Great Britain and shipped to Canada - to live in homes, "homes," or farms. In England, they were called "child migrants." Many more were sent to Australia !
