Fagan Homes

[scone]

Hi

Has anyone heard of Fagan Homes in or around the Glos area .   

I've just come across Cecil Nathaniel Gardiner age 11 yrs born Oakridge, whose fare was paid for by Fagan Homes to travel to Canada in 1910.  I belive his father Joseph Nathaniel Gardiner died in 1916, his occupation was given as Labourer and Mason on census.   Cecil had other relatives living in the Oakridge/Bisley area.  I'm wondering if he was a bad boy, hence the name Fagan Home,  and been transported or could there be some other reason. 

Any thoughts appreciated.

Have you looked at online newspapers, there are quite a few articles that mention these homes.

Hi

Thanks rosie99 I'll take a look sorry for my spelling mistake Hepburn. 

My interest is whether there were any homes as such in the area.  I did try searching for the homes via the web with no luck.

It is Fagan in the UK papers     They appear to be in London but there is mention of Mr Fagan giving places to children from the Bath area.

Hi rosie99

Thanks for your response I have managed to find a link via  Young Immigrants to Canada which may help me in my search.

Thanks for your help.
