British Home Children

[Nancy Whyte]

Looking for information re British Home Children--where are records kept re workhouses in 1879?

[AnnB]

Two very good sites for workhouse info are http://www.institutions.org.uk/workhouses/index.html and http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/index.html
There is a 'British Home Children' site at http://charsnow.tripod.com/one.html
Hope that helps
Best wishes

Hi,

The National Archives of Canada has lists of the children who came over to Canada as home children. My grandparents came over with the Catholic Emigrating Society now called Nugent Care Society, they settled in Ottawa.

check out the site.
