About Ewart and Harold….

I realize your original query has been answered but I found these records about the boys that might be of interest to you if you don’t have them. Better you have them twice than not.

The boys are in a Middlemore Home in the 1911 England census and travel to Canada later the same year as Home Children. The first 2 records indicate the family was deserted by Charles which would explain his absence from shipping records and you now, of course, know who Edna’s father was. Ewart is down as Edward on some records.

The next 2 records are related to their placements. Harold was sent to Nashwaak Bridge, Ewart to the same area.

Harold can be found here in the 1911 census (line 5). I haven’t found Ewart. He doesn’t yet seem to be with the family he was going to (or possibly wasn’t recorded).

2 more records without much info posted.

All records courtesy of Library and Archives Canada. It is possible to order copies of the Middlemore Home records.

Alice and the girls left England in late 1912 and apparently ended up in Nashwaak Bridge, where Edna was born, so presumably Alice was reunited with her sons at that time.

EDIT: one record was inadvertantly duplicated…I have replaced it.

There appears to be a probate for the Ida Nellie Spiers of 5 Fairway Rd Lilliput. I’m not sure if this is the same thing as posted just above?

I was thinking that if there was a will it might provide more info? The info is on Ancestry if you have access.

Looking forward at the 1901 and 1911 censuses for Ernest and Amelia, Amelia gives her birthplace as Holloway London. I believe this is in Islington District so seems to be a good match?

As mentioned earlier, you would need to obtain the cert to see the father’s name. It doesn’t appear to be on line.

No dates of birth given. Is this the same family? (Image on Ancestry)

ADDED: oops, missed the part about the censuses on your original post.

Pleased to be able to help.

Alexander is very elusive, that’s for sure.
