Maybe his first name is Rueben?

Did you see the notes on automated genealogy from someone who transcribed this......

The following note applies to line 12:
'Surname and given reversed - a common problem with this enumerator'
* The following note applies to line 24:
'Age inconsistent with birth year - a common problem with this enumerator'

Thanks everyone!

The 1901 Canadian Census was taken March 31, 1901

I think that it is supposed to be "Orphan boy"

I know nothing of this boy, just happened to come across him while searching for another and didn't want to leave him just lost in the census.

It says he was born in England, July 19, 1892, but the dates could be wrong, as that is quite common for children who are sent here through the Child Migration Schemes. 

It also says that he came to Canada in 1900.

I was sent this message from a chatter who had found this via genforum.....

I thought maybe the last name might start with an R, close to the top of the page there is what looks like a Rossina.

Thanks Don,

I have seen the original census, and the enumerator had horrible hand writing, so between the indexes and original, I can't figure out what this boys name should be.

I was searching the 1901 Canadian Census for another home child, and I came across this boy, Ancestry and Automated genealogy seem to have his first and surname mis-transcribed.

Can someone please have a look to see what they think it may be?

There is a mention in Barnardo's Ups & Downs of Ada marrying Alfred.  You can email them for a copy of the same.
