On Ancestry they are mistranscribed as Slaydon!
and the 12 year olds name has been crossed out but it is a daughter and I think it might be Rosa?

Hi Kerry again,
Thank you very much for that info., Earnest is the one I was looking for mainly but the others bits I can pass on.
Earnest went into "Barnados" after his mother died then to Canada as a "Homeboy".

That's a pleasure Barry.
One of my aunts started as a nurse at a Barnados home when she left school in the 50s. She tells some wonderful stories about Matron!

Do you know for a fact that he went to Barnado's?
It's just that there was a massive orphange/childrens home in Ashley Down, Bristol known as Muller's

Hi,
Unfortunately no, only going on what his decendents were told, were "Homeboys" sent from anywhere else bar "Barnados" to Canada.
He returned with the army 1914/18 war, married and returned to Canada, that is all they knew.

My great grandfather was Ernest Playdon, he was a Bernardo child I got a record when I was in school of him coming over when he was 10 I think. We don't know anything about our Playdon side before him though. Do you have anything?
-
Hi Rosetigtiny,
I can give you some information that I found concerning the Playdon side before Earnest married into the Corn Family.
But I really want to send via E.Mail.
What info do you have?

Ernest definitely didn't come to Müllers - I've just checked all the boys called Ernest and none had a surname anything like Playdon/Slaydon.

Hi Barry
Are you still looking for information about Earnest Playdon? He was my grandfather's half-brother and I have some stuff, including photos of him and Winifred Corn. I'll gladly pass them onto you. Regards, Terence
