I am trying to find information regarding my g grandfather Albert Dawdry.
He was born in March 1891. Address listed on birth certificate was 153 Odessia (?) Road Forest Gate, West Ham
In 1905 he was sent to Canada as a Home Child.
The name of the organization he was sent by was listed as Miss MacPherson's. I obtained records from Barnardo's which let me know he was sent from Bethnal Green Union School.
I would like to know if there is any way to find out his circumstances at the time of admission to the Union School. His Juvenile Inspection Reports indicate he asks about the welfare/ whereabouts of his sister "Nellie" however no information is ever produced. His military enrollment records into WW1 list "Nellie"- sister as his next of kin but her address is only listed as London, England.
Would the records of the union school indicate who "admitted" him there, where there might be a next of kin, the circumstances of his parents???
1. I have never been to England & am confused by the geography
2. I am also confused by the poor law union/ workhouses/ union schools even though I have read the information on workhouses. org.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Thank you for correcting me on the address- I may be going blind from reading the computer screen, then to reading handwriting from the 1800's!
The Nellie mentioned in the 1901 census does not have the same parents as my g grandfather, although I do have the registered copy of this Nellie's birth if anyone needs it- LOL
From what I have so far, it looks like Albert & Nellie's parents died in their 40's.
I do believe that may be the correct family in the 1861 census though.
THANK YOU !

...but... how do they get there ??? I just can't get my head around the whole Union school, workhouse, home children thing....
I feel SO out of it because you might as well be speaking another language to me at the moment! I have NO idea what "London E7" means but I will get it eventually!
Maybe some sleep will help me out! Thank you for the information! I'm sure it'll all come together, some day!

Staceyleigh,
London E7 means that is the area/post code(zip code)they lived in....london is divided into areas......E7(East 7 area)so Bethnal Green is in the East End of London.
Hope this is helpful
