 - from here, there was also a Henry W. Kent aged 14 travelling on the same ship, possibly his brother?

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/copies/index-e.html - you can order a copy of the ship list, should (hopefully) tell you where he was headed, possibly who to, etc.

Hi,

Looking at the image of the passenger list at findmypast.com the last address given for George and quite a few other 14-15 year old boys is 'Waifs & Strays Soc. Old Town Hall. Kensington. London.'

I found this website which might help,

hi.
i have found a HENRY KENT,married c1910,EMILY LIPSCOMBE.
i guess its a differant,HENRY.
could anyone tell me where i could look this marriage up?
the problem is ,i dont know where they lived.

Well, where did you find that marriage info at? England or Canada?

I think we should go back to the start, because it's not clear if we're on the right track at all here. You are looking for a George Kent who went to Canada. You think the one who emigrated in 1928 aged 15 may be your George.  What information do you have on your George that you are certain of? Birth, marriage, death, etc.

There's a birth on freebmd for George John Kent, Sep 1895 quarter, Easthampstead.

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/cef/001042-100.01-e.php - also here, although the file isn't online, a George John Kent enlisted in WWI in Canada. You could order his records directly from the archives if you think it might be him.

findmypast has a George J. Kent heading to Canada in 1911 - no age given, but this would make him about sixteen.  If you look for the actual info on the ship, you should be able to find the passenger list into Canada here:
