[markheal]

Are these teenagers another example of British Home Children?

That's very interesting!

Not able to link to the Ancestry refs but:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01p81/ 

And this young man:
British
Item: Arthur Charles AGER seems to return on the same ship/year.

Oh-heck-I've mangled everything!

Anyway:
You do wonder why they did go back to the UK.
"Matron" seems to be Victoria ASHLEY age 40.

Maureen,
Many thanks for your response.
I will look into these other teenagers and their 'Matron' when the Ancestry website is working again.  At present I am paralysed to research more.

Many thanks for the extra info about the pregnancy.
This may be the boy child that might be born in MAR 1933 Birmingham
