Many thanks to the replies I have had regarding Winifred Link. She did well in Canada because she was a Home Child sent out ona ship in 1912 a couple of months after the Titanic went down. About 120 Barnardo's children also on the ship. Her mother - my paternal grandmother - died in London in 1904 and with other family members lived in Ipswich orphanage. Don't we have easier lives now.
Best wishes to all for the information.
