Many thanks Sandra - very quick. I'll study it to see if there is anyone else by that name that was sent out first.

Found a Frank Radall on http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/uidlinks/BhcList.jsp Tried to get some links up but nothing works.
Would like to check this out just in case it is my Frank with a poor transcription of his surname.
Thanks

« on: Saturday 03 February 18 18:14 GMT (UK) »Is that the Frank Rymill - 1891 birth - 9c 574 - mothers maiden name Clevery ?
Appears in 1901 Children's Home - Brightside Bierlow, Yorkshire with a brother Thomas Rymill aged 12 years - Frank Rymill 11 years ?
What information have you got so far ? When was your last UK sighting ?
Sandra
See attachment - yes you have the right person there - he seems to have disappeared aged 17 in 1909 in Canada. His mother was still alive but I think they sent him to Canada aged 11 probably because he had been in a truant school three times and they thought he needed some discipline. Last UK sighting is 1903 when he left England.

Many thanks to both of you - the Fir Vale Homes were opened in 1894 - 1939 though the workhouse was opened in 1881. Thank you for the extra info on Edward Hamilton - he was on my list and I knew he was killed but wasn't aware of the details.

Yes based on what I already know I am ploughing my way through all sorts of records relating to Sheffield Guardians. They sent children out by various agencies and I would love to hear about what happened to some of these children once they arrived. I have had some descendants get in touch with me before but I would like to have a database of all the children who were sent from Fir Vale Sheffield. Perhaps one day.... I do have a query on one particular child Frank Rymill who was sent out there and he disappeared after so many inspections. He belongs to my granddaughter's maternal family.

Hi
I would like to hear about any children who were sent to Canada via other agencies from Sheffield (Fir Vale) Workhouse. I am a volunteer at the Hospital History group at Fir Vale and know about some of the children but would like to hear more.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / George Wood
« on: Sunday 21 May 06 13:34 BST (UK) »
My Great grandfather was George Wood who in later census always stated he was born in Stroud Glos. According to the census he was born sometime between 1829 & 1834. On his marriage to Mary Ann Rock in Kingswinford 1852 he states he is a boatman as was his father also named George. I would like to find George in the 1841 & 51 census and to try and confirm his parentage and birth/baptism date so I can progress with that particular line. He eventually moved up to Cumbria. Can anyone help me with this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
