The National Archives of Canada has a database of Barnardo children coming to Canada. On this side of pond they were called Home Children. The database lists then name, age, ship they came on, year of arrival and their destination in Canada with info on the microfi;m s which may or may not have additional info. I have never had reason to seek these out so don't know exactly what additional details there may be (Click on the icon to the left of the name to bring up the details) This would appear to be the info on Albert: FRYER , Albert Age: 8 Sex: M Year of arrival: 1894 Microfilm reel: C-4516 Ship: SS Sarnia Port of departure: Liverpool Departure Date: 29 Mar 1894 Port of arrival: Portland, Maine Arrival Date: 11 Apr 1894 Party: Dr Barnardo's Destination: Winnipeg, Manitoba Comments: This passenger list is included in the Halifax film, reel C-4516.

I've have been informed that two of them were sent to Canada from a Dr Banardo's home and the other child remains a mystery.In 1891 their father Joseph was a widow and all his children were living with him but in 1901 the remaining children were living with the eldest brother and a daughter aged 10 was living in an orphan house in Bristol. My query is how can I find which Dr Banardo's home they were sent to and when were they sent to Canada. Can anyone please point me in the right direction Ann ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEST-RIDING-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
Further to this. Automated Genealogy are transcribing the Canadian Census for 1901, 1906 (Prairie provinces only) and 1911. The transcriptions also give a direct link to the image (although the manipulation of the image is pretty crude you can scroll up and down and enlarge it) In 1906 Albert appears to be a servant with Fred Moore's family Surname Givens Age Province District Subdistrict Number Page Line Fryer Albert 19 MB Marquette District 04 8 39 Use this link to Automated Genealogy http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html Mel Smith Whitby, Ontario, Canada -----Original Message----- From: west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:west-riding-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mel Smith Sent: August 17, 2007 8:33 AM To: west-riding@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WRY] Dr Banardo's/Hunslet children The National Archives of Canada has a database of Barnardo children coming to Canada.
