Thanks for your info.  My dad came to Canada in 1925 via the Liverpool Sheltering Home (Barnardo's).  He went a farm at Kinburn Ontario (Near Ottawa).  In 1926 George JENKINS came under the BCIA and also went to Kinburn.  My dad (B; 1909 - d: 1980) and George met up in Kinburn and they remain friends and there was a family association up to George death in 2002.   There always some discusion of George's origins in the UK before he came to Canada.  He made several trips in later year to visit a sister in Ireland (I assume northern).  So at present time I have sufficient information on George as I really only wanted to confirm his birth as that was open to discussion in our family.  So thank you for your help, greatly appreciated.   

Thanks again for the info.  Greatly appreciated.

George Jenkins came to Canada on the Minnedosa on the 27 March 1926.   Shipping records indicate hat he was born Plymouth and was age 17 (in 1926).  He was brought to Canada under BICA to do farm work at Kinburn Ontario.  Through his association with my family indicates that he was born in Cornwall and in 1909.  A possible birth in Cornwall Bodmin in 1909 in FREEBMD.  As a youth he was connected to a maritime training vessel, but unsure if that was with the RN or merchant ships.  His tomb stone indicates a birth of 1909 (died in 2002).  The names of his parents are unknown but it is believed his sister (name unknown) lived in Northern Ireland.    There is one relative, also George Jenkins, in Canada, probably in Ontario.   Any help or info greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Sorry but I do not have a plot number.
