Hi, Jake...long time no see!!!!
Might have him here, on the 1901, working in SHEFFORD for the Knowltons
( down as Ernest J.)
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/DisplayPagePanb.jsp?id=85811&highlight=41

The stated year of immigration matches, although year a bit out... J.J.

Checked here to see if he enlisted in WW1, but none match up...there is however one signup with no database information which still could be his. Perhaps you could write to see if there is more on this one Ernest... J.J.
( just use link oline help for where to write for the info )

Oh, You'll have to forgive me, Jake...there is one other Ernest on the 1911 who matches your dates even better, as he says born June 1883 and also immigrated in 1894....but hadn't seen him on the 1901 so missed him...must apologise
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test16.jsp?id=102549

He is a boarder in Brome / Potton Township / works at a sawmill....
actual image:
http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1911a/e082/e002046400.pdf

Boarding with a George willard ( bottom household 22 )
http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1911a/e082/e002046399.pdf

so will look closer now at 1901...

Home children resources & topics here on rootschat....
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,148045.0.html

Look up volunteers in Quebec... but Protestant files in Brome are only up to
1879 and it's hard to guess where he may have married, anyway....and they
need Parish or township info before they begin. I wonder if you asked in
general if there are any volunteers that specialize in Sherbrooke home children
research? http://www.rootsweb.com/~canqc/lookupsa-c.html

Oh, my eyes aren't working now, says 1897 not 1894 for the second entry above,
so only the first one matches for immigration but not for age...
You gave other rootschat entries on this family I have found, also...( My memory is going, but may have worked on one of them.)
Saw that you thought you had parents for them on the 1891, but no ernest? You  thinking he was abandoned between marriages, then?  How did you come to find out about Ernest, from the CEF papers on Frederick?  Wonder if there were even more children, then...before the next marriage....

Hello Jake

My grandfather was a home child and listed as domestic on the census. So looks like your man.

You might try contacting researchers searching Barnes listed on this website:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~qceastwn/bb.html

There are two listed. Maybe there will be a connection to your Ernest.

Ok, bear with me.....

On Frederick Barnes military papers (Ernest's brother), he has his military pay going to his brother Mr. E. Barnes, Miami, Manitoba.  It is states to "also notify" Mrs. E. Barnes c/o Mrs. Walter Fry, Manitoba.....

In the 1911 Manitoba Census there is a William and Fanny Fry and below them is Ernest Barnes, born England, 1889, and married, dosn't give his wife's name though.

Province: Manitoba 
District: Lisgar 
District Number: 17 
Sub-District Number: 18 
Census Year: 1911 
Page: 4 

So, that could be a good possiblity for Ernest

I had seen that one, but he has no immigration date, but then he was just a boy...Trouble is on the 1906 he says he's 16 and immigrated 1899...so if it is the right fellow, it will be hard to identify from his information.
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census06/DisplayPage06.jsp?id=4121


No marriage for him, also which makes it maddening...also was hoping to find the Fry/Frye family in 1881 or 1901 with children just in case Ernest married one...all very frustrating, all in all...
 A little concrete evidence would be nice....nothing else that gave a clue in the c.e.f. papers?

hi
   i have just had an idea what do you think karen & jj

if charles barnes had a brother his brother could be ernests father,
i have found charles father, it is oliver barnes born 8th september 1826, born in hungerford berkshire
oliver moved to birmingham and married sarah leake on the 3rd may1847,
where they lived in castle bromwhich birmingham and had charles on the18th september 1853, i can't find any other children, but would think they had more than one, any idea how find out,
it seems that most of the barnes family moved to birmingham
