Looking for Benjamin Biddis/Beddis/Beddes Home Child
« on: Monday 24 September 07 03:36 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have found one of my children's relatives in Canada. ???
Information I have found in the last 24 hrs. ;D

Benjamin Beddis   Age 14 Travelled on the "Sardinian" as a Home Child.
Left Liverpool 31 July 1884 and arrived Quebec 11 July 1884 in Dr Barnardo's Party  :)
In 1881  he was at the Barnado's Home Stepney Causeway ( Surname spelt Biddis ) age 13 b London, Middlesex.  :'(

1896 Farming for himself near Woodstock Ontario Canada   :D

1901 Census
Biddis
Benjamin Head b Nov 6 1869
Jane Wife b Aug 14 1869
Alexander B Son b July 21 1893
Alfred C Son b April 2 1895.

1911 Census
Beddes
Bengiman b Nov 1870
Jane b Aug 1870
Ben b Jul 1894
Charles b Apr 1895

Could any one find the missing information e.g BMD Census.

Parent's are unknown at this stage but i have a post on the London Board looking for him in 1871.

Any help would be much appreciated
Carol
