canada lookup please
« on: Friday 18 January 08 13:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
Could someone possibly locate a Henry Percy Brown. He was born on the 18th November 1901/3, Cowley, Uxbridge.  He was emigrated to Canada aboard the SS Scandinavian on 19th March 1915 arriving in St John on 29th March 1915. 
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Helen

Hi Karen
Yes i think it is.  Henry was in Barnardo's when he was sent from there to canada. The only other info i've got is that he went to live in Los Angeles, California in 1942 but the last contact from him was in the 1960's  where he was living in Perth, Ontario, Canada. Married with 3 children apparently.
This is just a bit of info from a Barnardo's research paper I got but this is all I know.
regards

Hello Helen

Maybe there would be a birth announcement or obit in the Perth Courier if the children were born there or he died there. You can search Perth Courier 1834-1987 on Paper of Record here:
http://www.paperofrecord.com/search.asp

Could you clarify the birthyear - 1901/3 ??

Thanks Linda I'll give it a go.  I have re-checked the birth date of Henry and it is 18th November 1903.
Thanks again for your help.
