Greetings from Canada, :)

Rosina was sister of my great grandmother, Amelia Ellen or Ellen Amelia. I have no information on Rosina.

Researching information on my great grandmother, Amelia Ellen or Ellen Amelia Allen for many years and one large brick wall was due to wrong spelling of her maiden name. Last fall I met 2nd cousin had some information to share with me.

They were British Home Children with the Barnardos. From there, Amelia was immigrated to Canada on September 1901 on Tunisian ship and Rosina in 1902 on Colonian ship. Both came through Hazel Brae in Peterborough. I was told that they met at the train station and were separated and never saw each other again. I give you a little history on her family.

Amelia and Rosina’s parents were Robert Allen b: 1861-1894 and Ellen Mole b: 1864-1938.
Siblings: Ellen Amelia 1886, Rosina Elizabeth 1888, Florence 1890, William Thomas 1892 and James Robert 1894. All were born in Grays, Essex, England. Their father Robert died in 1894. In 1897 their mother remarried to William Grimwade (Grimwood). They produced two girls – Gladys Mary Grimwade 1901 and Ellen Rosina Grimwade 1906.

I have information on each sibling and some of their descendants except Rosina Elizabeth Allen.  I hope someone out there is looking for us or has some invaluable information for me.

Welcome to rootschat, EagleSoars,

Have you got her exact date of birth, to aid in identification?
