Kent Lookup Requests / Re: St Joseph's Orphanage School, Orpington/ James Fitzpatrick Kellard
« on: Tuesday 11 November 25 13:52 GMT (UK)  »
Not that it helps much but did find the shipping info.
I hope that it helps to round out the timeline for you.
James Fitzpatrick Kellard DOB Oct. 9 1905.
sending party: Southwark Guardians   In the charge of Mr. King
ship Minnedosa left port Liverpool July 22nd 1921   Arrival port Quebec:  July 30 1921
He was to be sent to Catholic Emigration Society, 1153 Wellington St. Ottawa.
 
Someone had to meet him on his return to England!
Perhaps they might have some information re: the receiving home
*Note: also look for his surname as "Fitzpatrick" as errors do happen.

*Adding- Found this!
Noted as being returned for medical reasons. A severe eye condition.
Fortunately he must have had some very good care once back in England!
Glad he was able to enjoy his games of chess!

and a link to the previous post as well, locked & linked to this one.

Kent Lookup Requests / St Joseph's Orphanage School, Orpington / James Fitzpatrick Kellard
« on: Sunday 09 November 25 21:58 GMT (UK)  »
Apologies, James, for not seeing this & welcoming you to Rootschat sooner!
 Just found this request & sadly I cannot help you with much more...as you likely already found this.
   Apparently not in Canada very long.  James F Kellard b. 1905  age 16. Sadly no shipping info...   
Home Children Inspection Report- imm. yr. 1921. Sending party: Catholic Emigration Assoc.  Southwark Union
  He actually was sent to Quebec, so may have entered from that port & have been slated to move on to another receiving home in Canada, as he was "detained" there.
  The lad was sent back to England on The S.S. Melita Aug. 26 1921. I'll post more if I find anything.

Perhaps he dodged a worse life here, as although some did well & were treated like family, some were simply used as cheap labour, and others neglected & abused as well. Poppy for his war years!
Happy he had a good family life back in Eng. & that you got to meet him!  J.J.

To add to Christopher's (R.I.P.) post above:
Many Irish born home children were directed to National Children's Homes & Orphanages

These were just a few from the March 13th arrival of 100...

  They do all say born Ontario...but they are sadly very, very hard to read!
   Mostly because ::) the enumerator put more effort into useless repetition of street names

 Report/ Inspection Card.  He was placed soon after arrival.
says  born Nov. 30 1916  #496839
with 9 placements in 4 yrs. - a sign he was not happy
(or they with him) But some of the homes were very brutal.
I have not seen that many placements in such a short period of time!

 Census-  June 1,1931  transcribed as

You appear to have a great deal of threads on this same topic, I think you should link them together, or let people know where you are in your searches...
