British Home Children - 5 siblings

[ancestorsnoop]

A great big Thank You Sandra!!!  It is taking me awhile to look through it all.  I had found some of these items (but not all).  I wasn't quite sure on some of them, so I am so happy to see you came to the same conclusion.

I wonder where Violet was on the 1910 census in the USA?  When she married Sidney Charles Lynds, 12 Jan 1918, in Somersville, Massachusetts, she was a "Violet Richie."  I wonder why she came to the USA, whereas the rest of the 5 stayed in Canada?

I think this might be the missing Nellie, but it list her as "Nellie Graves Spicer" and her husband as "William Franklin Spicer."

Perhaps you could contact the Quinte West Library to see if there are obituaries for Nellie and her husband?

Here is someone looking for an obituary for Daisy Greaves and William Faulkner's son Douglas Roy Faulkner (d 1996 in Halifax).   Obit here as well.

Thank you cosmac for the information on Charles A. E. Greaves!!!  It seems to match & confirm the family information shared with me and in online trees.  It gets confusing with all the different names given for the parents.  So I appreciate everyone's help and insight.  I forgot to mention the James Greaves's wife was Alice Chapman.

Canada Voters List - 1953 - 152 Manor Road East Toronto - Eglington District - Mrs Elizabeth Astle - Widow -

Canada Voters List 1968 - 165 Manor Road East Toronto - Elizabeth Astle - Unemployed.

I was excited by this possibility, so I did a Google search for "Elizabeth Astle" in Toronto, and found an obituary for a "Astle, Elizabeth (Isabelle) Aniela (nee Kalichak)," who moved to Toronto in the late 1940s.  Is she the "Mrs. Elizabeth Astle" listed on the voter list?  If so, I wonder where Elizabeth May Greaves Astle lived?

This could be the husband of Elizabeth (Isabelle) Aniela (nee Kalichak) listed above.

Thank you Sandra for proving that the Mrs. Elizabeth Astle in Toronto is not the one I am seeking, so it is now back to looking for the right one.  I didn't think to look for Elizabeth (Isabelle) Aniela (nee Kalichak)'s husband.
