Home Children in the Guthrie Home, London Ontario 1888

In excess of 130,000 kids were sent from UK to Canada & Australia from 1860 to 1930 There were more placement organizations than just Barnardos Home, although it relocated the most children.

The Archives of Ontario has created a searchable online database for Home Children. Members of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa are locating and indexing the names of these Home Children found in passenger lists in the custody of the National Archives of Canada

This morning whilst at Leeds Archives, Sheepscar Judith Varley at judith.varley@btinternet.com had a look at above which are deposited in the Leeds Township Records She made a quick note of the children who emigrated in 1888 - most of them were Orphans or had been deserted by their parents The Church of England children all went to Guthrie Home Ontario, Canada sailing on the 8th Aug 1888. The Guthrie Home was opened 1874 in London, Middlesex County Ontario, where the Children were taken on arrival from Birmingham via Liverpool and Quebec City. They were then placed with families from the Guthrie Home.
