Hi Bob,  Thanks for your response.  Tried again this morning after clearing all RootsChat cookies.  As you can see from the attached, nothing has changed!
Thanks anyway...

Good day.  I have a fair amount of material on H.L.P., more interested in finding more on Margaret Adelaide, who was my gr-gr-grandmother.  Died in India, January 1848, 1 month after the birth of my gr-grandfather.
BTW, I also have Crawfords in my family.  My gr-grandmother was Caroline Georgina Hague Crawford, daughter of Angus Crawford and Isabella Lawrie.
Cheers...
David

The 1908 John Rogers is definitely my Rogers.  I have had contact with Barnardos and they have ruled out the 1906 John.
I am not sure if the Portslade John is mine, I have not been able to confirm this yet. I have emailed S.A. but have not heard back.  The tree you were looking at was probable mine (on Ancestry?).
Might it have been a normal practice for the CEA to transport youth for the SA??

That first line of my post is all we know of his history.  Other than the names of his parents and his birth date/place we know nothing else about his family in England.
I have been unable to find him in the 1901 UK census, or the 1911 Canada census.  I do have him for the 1921 Canada census.
I am looking to trace his family in England and, who knows, discover some long lost cousins!
Thanks for your interest.  :D
