The Lighter Side / Re: Boys Will Be Boys - A Century On

Quote from: Viktoria on Wednesday 10 June 15 22:28 BST (UK)
A book" Angels from the Meadow" by James Stanhope Brown  is an account of the transporting of young boys from Manchester`s notorious "Angel Meadow" area. ( Where you could get mugged by nuns and Police dogs would only go in threes).
The boys were rescued from the streets and placed in various homes/orphanages and then sent to Canada.What they thought about that is not recorded. Some did well but others had hard lives and were really kept almost like slaves.
 One of the ships was the Cephalonia.                   .Viktoria.

Would be very interesting to read that book Viktoria.

Thanks,
Karen

Maybe we should follow Mr. gale and see where he was etc.  Would be nice to find out who was living at that address c1915 when Frederick noted it on his papers.

Is it in the Barnardo's records that they say she remarried around 1915 to a Mr. Searle?

You should get his full military file, there could be other information in them that could provide a clue.  If he went on leave, or if he changed his next of kin's information etc.

Here is Frederick's first page of his Attestation Papers were he names Mary Jane Denyer as his next of kin.  He notes her address as 21 Parchement Street, Chichester, Essex.
