| Note | Between the 1860s and 1970s, over 130,000 children, known as British Home Children, were sent to live in overseas dominions by the British government. Harry was one of those sent to Canada under the auspices of the British Immigration & Colonisation Association, arriving sometime in 1928. Harry worked for Frank James Conley (in Prince Edward Island), and in Ontario Egerton Argue (in Carleton County), David J Clark (in Glengarry County), Frank Arbuckle (Carleton), Lewis J Renwick (in Prescott County), Mrs H V Sladen (Carleton) and F W Halfpenny (Carleton). At one point he was recorded as missing, but no further details regarding that are available. Such details as there are in the imagery at Find my Past include the note 'Ret to England'. Our collection of data on Arrivals to the UK records that he returned to Liverpool from Boston as a Deck Hand on 23 Apr 1929, intending to head for 132 Broad Street, Swindon, Wiltshire. The next we know of him is that he is recorded in the 1939 Register as an Inmate of the Wiltshire County Mental Hospital at Devizes. |
