Seeking all Dainton connections World Wide
|
I went to the site and found two children that were missing from research:
Alfred (Henry) Dainton (born 16 Dec. 1877)
George Thomas Dainton (born 1882)
The other members of family are not listed - does this mean they were not sent to Canada?
Missing from same family:
Charles William Dainton born 1 Nov 1879
Edward Dainton born 1886
Ellen Dainton born 1888
All were the children of Hannah Rachel (nee Hardick) & Alfred Henry "Harry" Dainton.
Harry murdered his wife on 8 September 1891 & Harry was executed in Decembe 1891 for the crime. Children were sent to orphanage in Bath, Somerset.

Mmm, It is possible that a family member took these three children. It looks like the eldest and a younger one, perhaps they were poorly and stayed with a family member, sich as aunt or grandmother.
Presuambly, you have managed to look through newspapers for the writeup regarding the crime and punishment. Does this list any details of family? Have you looked for the three missing children on the 1901 Census index?
There is also a British Home Children database, which is searchable online on the web page of the Canadian Archives, I don't have the URL to hand, but a search of that would be helpful, as, and this is from memory, the database on Perry Snow page which you looked at is of those who are recorded by relatives. Have you submitted yours?
Here is the URL http://www.archives.ca/02/020110_e.html

The three missing children are not in the 1901 Census. The children were sent to Dr Barnardos and Mullers.
Could they have been split up - one group to Canada & the other to Australia?
The other family members were also poor and living in single rooms. Harry's family were living in Bradford-on-Avon and seem to have turned their back on him.
Harry drowned his wife in the River Avon after a struggle. It is interesting to note that his father-in-law spoke up for him at his trial.

I am not sure, but the british home children mailing list on Rootsweb does have some of the ups and downs details in their archives. You can join via a subscribe box on the following URL
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren
It maybe worth looking at the Ontario archives online, I don't have the URL, but a quick Google should find it. You may well find any BMDs online. You could also write or email Dr Barnardos and see if they have an archive of Ups and Down.
Presumably, your relatives married and produced offspring and therefore the following maybe of use
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~births/index.htm (mainly births transcribed)
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~maryc/ontmarr.htm (marriages)
http://www.archives.ca/02/020106_e.html (First World War)
I recommend this one as, it looks like one of your relatives did indeed join up for the First World War and his digitial Attestation papers are online.
Whilst, I appreciate that you want to know more about their time and lives as home children, these other URLs might help peices together other bits of their lives.
I have just found the following
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tweetybirdgenealogy/
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click home children. There is an enormous amount of information and a list of where the Ups and Downs are on microfilm. It appears as though the University of Liverpool Library.

About the availability of Ups and Downs, published by Dr Barnardos Homes in Toronto (1895-1949); at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tweetybirdgenealogy/availupdown.html
there is a list of locations where one may consult certain issues of the publication, either in the original paper form or on microfilm. Since this list was made two more sources have been found: at the National Archives in Ottawa, and at the Alberta Archives. Both of these institutions have microfilm copies of the following issues, on 8 reels:
v. 1-2; 1895-1897 (Reel #1)
v. 5-7, no. 1; 1899-1901 (Reel#2)
v. 7, No. 2--v. 9; 1902-1903 (Reel #3)
v. 10-11, 21-23; 1904-1906, 1919-1921 (Reel #4)
v. 24-28; 1922-26 (Reel #5)
v. 29-33, no. 2; 1927-31 (Reel #6)
v. 33, no. 3- v. 35; 1931-33 (Reel #7)
v. 36-44, 46-50; 1934-42, 1944-49 (Reel #8).
ML-283/OOA is the call number at the National Archives; at Provincial Archives of Alberta the accession number is 75.436. A little more of these 8 reels may be learned by looking at a maillist posting at

The gateway to the BHC site at the Canadian Archives in Ottawa can be reached at:
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/02/020110_e.html
That provides you with a number of links to source data that is stored on microfilm in the archives, much of which can be borrowed through your local library facilities.
I don't know about the Bernardo children, but the records of those children who went through the Middlemore homes to Canada and Aus are held on a number of microfilm reels in the National Archives. As I live near Ottawa, it was relatively easy for me to find the records for my wife's mother and her siblings who came to Canada via the Middlemore route.
The reels contain all the data about the children and their circumstances in both the UK and in Canada / Aus, which were pertinent to their being taken into custody and were relevant to their foster homes in "the Colonies". 
I believe that you can access a full listing of the various Reels and their contents from the URL provided above. Once you have found the Reel(s) on which info about your rellies is / are most likely to be found, you can ask your local library to borrow a copy for you to peruse, I think; as one of my wife's rellies in Cornwall went that route to obtain the data concerning her mother.
I hope this helps.
