Good thinking rolnora ... Charlie (DOB 19.09.1912) certainly seems to have 'disappeared' from the family's knowledge, so it's possible he was sent overseas. The British Home Children search facility doesn't have his name, but there are many missing. Can't find him on any transatlantic boat. Could do with the 1931 census of Canada, but that's not available yet. Does anyone please know how to search Canadian deaths for a Charles Denney? I don't have that ability...
