Location on Census - Orphanage
« on: Tuesday 29 November 11 16:06 GMT (UK) »

1901 Census of Canada Page Information
District:   ON YORK (West/Ouest) (#131)
Subdistrict:     Toronto (City/Cité) Ward/Quartier No. 6 G-27 Page 6
Image:    . at National Archives Web Site
Details:   Schedule 1 Microfilm T-6508

Can anyone help me identify which Home this is?  I suspect, given that there's a Mother Bernard (two pages previous) that this might be the Sacred Heart Orphanage ... but I can't find definite confirmation.... help? 

Thanks a bunch!

You have posted on a resource board. A moderator will move you to the main board for queries...
Your answer was in the link for sister Bernard...Thanks for the link, though, I will post it above ( although I will make sure it is a direct link to the page)

"In 1887 Sister Bernard began her great apostolic work at the Sacred Heart Orphanage at Sunnyside, on the lakeshore of Toronto’s west end"

If there is a certain person for whom you are looking, then please post is within the thread after it has been moved.  all the best,  J.J.

Thanks for the move; sorry for any inconvenience.

Yep, what you quoted is exactly why I speculated about it being Sacred Heart... but I can't find any confirmation.  Was hoping maybe there was another year that noted the same names with an institution name. 

Relevant entries are for Harry/Henry and Russell Hammond.

You should find what you seek if you read through the following (or you may have seen it already (?); I think the quote above w/b from it). It came up as a 'link' to Mother Bernard on automatedgenealogy.com and does indicate Mother Bernard would have been at this orphanage in 1901 and that she died there in 1901.

I suspect this is the closest you may get to confirmation. None of the 1901 census links lead to anyone still at the orphanage ... there are no links to any of the nuns, in fact, and the children there in 1901 would most likely have been too old to still be there in 1911. I didn't track individual children from one census to the next, only the ones with links. I will leave the others up to you  :)

There are two schedules for the 1901 census.
"schedule 1" is the population census
but
"schedule 2" is a listing of "buildings and lands, churches and schools" and provides addresses.

In this case by using the search:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1901/001013-100.01-e.php
we can give the info from automated genealogy:
district number: 131
subdistrict: g 27

There is only one page for schedule 2, and the last entry on the line shows "page 4, line 4" (e.g. where Mother Bernard is shown) to be "Sacred Heart Orphanage", an institution of 70 rooms and 277 inmates (not counting officers, employees, etc), on 9 1/2 acres.

Hi,

The Orphanage became St. Josephs Hospital in 1921.

http://www.stjoe.on.ca/about/heritage.php

The current hospital is still at that site on Sunnyside Avenue.   It is just east of High Park and north of the Gardiner Expressway (and Lake Ontario).
