Hello,
Albert (born c. 1872, Wiltshire) was living at 21 Gas Street in Oxford for the 1901 Census, with his wife Rosanna (born c. 1874, Wiltshire), and their children. I haven’t been able to find them post 1901, despite searches on FamilySearch, Ancestry and FindMyPast.
I’d appreciate any help!

Is this him in 1911 on Family Search listed as a widow??

-
Yes! Same job and birthplace. Don’t know why that never showed up. Thanks :)
-
Is this one of their children - Atlantic Ports Passenger Lists
George Henry Salter Age: 10
Birthplace: England
Arrival Date: 11 Mar 1911
Port of Arrival: Portland, Maine
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: Sicilian
Friend's Name: Doctor Barnardos Homes
Father Albert E Salter 20 Albion St Bristol
Also William John Salter - age 8
-
Yes it is! I was wondering where all the children had gone.
-
I think this is two daughters at St Elizabeth's Church Home For Girls, 17 Victoria Road, Clapham https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW5X-DXQ
-
Having consulted the 1901 Census, that’s right! There’s also Edith Salter, born in Oxford c. 1899.

This looks like Edith!
-
Looks good
Possible death in Bristol in 1917 age 18 for Edith M Salter
-
Presumably this is Rosanna
Roseanna Salter age 37 June Qtr 1910 Swindon 5a 6
-
How sad.
I’ve found other children:
William John Salter, born 1902, Swindon district
Elsie May Salter, born 1904, Swindon district
Sidney James Salter, born 1906, Swindon district
Daisy Amelia Salter, born 1908, Swindon District
-
Presumably this is Rosanna
Roseanna Salter age 37 June Qtr 1910 Swindon 5a 6
And yes, they seem to have been living in the Swindon area.

Sidney James Salter, born 1906, Swindon district
Daisy Amelia Salter, born 1908, Swindon District
Just found them as well :-\
-
Think Sidney left Southampton for New York in 1911. Not sure about Elsie and Daisy.
-
Daisy is in Welford in 1911!
-
Daisy Maud was boardinig in Welford, Leics - but I can't see her on Family Search
Sorry - we crossed ;D
-
Got it all noted down, thanks. Just looking for Elsie now. Not sure what became of them all post-1911.
-
Elsie is listed with the surname Salters and in Muller's Orphan Houses, Ashley Down, Bristol - They were spread far and wide poor souls
She is on the 1939 Register - still single
-
Well at least she was with her sister Edith there. They seem to have all been in pairs thankfully. Not sure where Sidney is, but he appears to have left England later that year.
-
The ultimate destination for the boys was the Barnardo Home in Toronto Ontario Canada.
A George Henry Salter married Helen McGee in Toronto Ontario 26 Jun 1926.
Father Albert Edward Salter, mother not known.
Helen was b. in Australia, George b. England
Looks like your George?
The image for this record is available on Anc...y if you have world access; it would also be available on familysearch (free).

Yes, it certainly fits with what we know! Thanks for that. I’m looking into Helen now.
-
This looks like the marriage of William...
William John Salter
to
Christina Krotz
24 Nov 1931 at Listowel Perth County Ontario
Father Albert Edward Salter
Mother Rosanna Trembling
William is living in Wallace Township Perth County at the time of his marriage and the same place is given as his place of birth. The latter would appear to be an error.
The image of this record is available as outlined above for Gerorge.

Excellent! Thanks. That’s two of the brothers tracked down.

3 more....
A Sydney James arrived Quebec Canada 29 Jun 1920 on the Scotian. He was going to the Barnardo Home in Toronto Ontario. Form 30A has his father as A E Salter of Bristol. Looks like your Sydney.
Annie and Emma arrived Quebec 05 May 1911 on the Victorian. They were with a party noted as Church of England Waifs and Strays. Theybwere bound for Niagara-on-the-Lake Ontario.
Emma married Harry Harris at St Simon's Church Toronto Ontario 27 Oct 1915
Father Albert Edward Salter
Mother Rose Hannah Tremblyn
Annie married Percival Frederick Hoadley at Hamilton Ontario 30/31 May 1916
Father Albert Edward Salter
Mother Rosanna Trembling
Images of marriage records avalable as previously noted.
How very sad. 5 Home Children so far. I hope they were able to be in contact with each other and their father.
You might consider adding their names to the Home Children list here on RootsChat.

Thanks polarbear! That’s some great digging you’ve done. I’ll get it all typed up now. It’s a very tragic story indeed.
-
You are very welcome.

I haven’t been able to find the marriage for Emma Salter in 1915 to Harry Harris. Can you tell me how old he was and what he worked as? I’ve got plenty on Percival Hoadley, as apparently he was in the First World War.
-
Emma is listed as Emma Marie in the mge record.
Harry was 32 a Steward b. England
Father Saul J Harris
Mother Fannie (can't make out her last name)
This looks like the burial place of William and Christena....scroll down the page.

Excellent, thanks!

Haven’t found any trace of Harry Harris in England. We know he’s born c. 1883, and his parents are given as Saul J. Harris and Fannie Jarcia (Garcia?).
-
Harry may be a nickname or adopted name - he could be one of these?

That certainly looks very likely! Probably of Jewish descent, judging by the forenames. And probably Sephardi Jewish on the mother’s side with a name like Garcia.
-
I'd say that sure looks very promising, too.
