Canada / Deported
« on: Friday 08 July 22 05:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi there.   It’s been a few years since asking for help.  But I want to pick someone brains.

My granddad.

W (Walter) WILLETTS b 1881. Birmingham, Warwickshire England,   Sent to Canada in 1896 With 120 other home children.   He returned in 1900 to uk.

How I know this. (Because he was home for all census records.) on immigrating to Canada 1921 April.  with wife Ethel and their two children he put that he had lived in Canada 4 yrs. Stating the years.
 
1.   Tried to find more info on his time in Canada.   No luck.
2.    Do you think if. What we were told he had a hard home life. He would want to go back.  And 1901 1910. Lived with his dad, sister and her family,  if it was so bad.

3.  Also when they went to settle in Canada they were only there for 6 months returning in Oct.   after being deported.      Any clue why someone would have been deported in those times

I was told they couldn’t afford fares to get home and my Nana played the piano  to cover their fare.

Many thanks
Hope you understand it. And I am in the right place.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Day out for the poor children 1920s 30s
« on: Saturday 31 December 16 23:22 GMT (UK)  »
I am writing my family history into a story.

My dad would get an invite by the Lord Major to a day out, 
think it was at Small Brook Park, Aston? Birmingham?  got on a bus to get there,  got a bag with a cake, bun, drink and a present , played games, clowns were there.. 

He also got invites from the police, who would give them clogs to wear ??

Can any one ad to this, or correct it  ..as my dad is not with us any more,  so I can't ask him.

many thanks
