I gather that some Home Children found their way over the border into the U.S.
Also of course, there's a possibility that their names were changed:-(
Norman Claude Warren was born in Greenwich, London, England in 1906 & Ernest Henry Warren was born in Hastings, Sussex, England in 1907. Their father Ernest Henry Warren (my Great Grandfather) died in 1916 of TB when he was 34, leaving his widow with 8 children, including twin baby boys. She gave some of her children up to the National Children's Home, hoping to reclaim them when she was able, but they were sent to Canada.
Family in Australia and the UK would love to know what happened to them.
Hoping that you can find something.
Many Thanks, Romilly.

hi,
Sorry but the dates of 1921/23 are a little bit too late for me to search anything census wise. The Marriage records I can search end at 1924. Sorry abt that.
