Thanks Cider, that's my tree. I'm looking to contact my English cousins.

Essex / DANIELS Hubert Fredrick (1905-1994)
« on: Friday 06 June 14 07:33 BST (UK) »
I'm hoping to find more information about Rev'd H F Daniels after WWII. I know he served as a Methodist Chaplain throughout the war. I believe he retired as a Major in 1952. I actually know quiet a bit about him thus far:
Between 1950-1966
He was curate at Enfield. A rector at Croughton, Hinton-in-the-Hedges and at 'Newbottle with Charlton' school in Northamptonshire. Later he was the vicar of 'Alfriston with Lullington.' As a non Christian layperson a lot of that makes not too much sense to me. His personal diary is kept at The Keep in Sussex but as I live in New Zealand I'd love anyones advise as to how to get a copy, cd or transcript.
Most importantly I'm looking to contact his descendants and any other English descendants of Matthew Henry Daniels (1808-1855) from Gloucestershire & later Wilts.
Cheers.

Canada / Re: Charles Stanley (Belleville, Ontario)

Legendary guys! Truly thank you. I have seen the census and I did just find Charles and Henry on a Marchmont house index. I've also just emailed a few organisations about records. Thank you Karen.
Has anyone else had experience tracking down Home Children? Someone else had sent me military enlistment records for a few Charles Stanleys but I'm not sure if a 10 year old shipped off to Canada for work would put his next of kin as someone in the UK 10 years later…or recall their address for that matter.

I'm trying heaps. Where have you found them at Marchmont? All the indexes I've searched online don't list them. And, is there a way to contact Marchmont themselves?
For my theory to pan out…Charles would have to show up back in or around Belleville around 1928. So far I haven't found him on the 1921 census but my Ancestry account isn't accessing Canadian records right now unfortunately.
Cheers!

Thanks Karen, as I said, other than the passenger list I've got nothing. If he was bound for Belleville and came from Liverpool would that narrow down at all which agency he may have been sent by? Or perhaps what home he ended up at? Marchmont has no record of him. Or perhaps which area in Lancashire he may have been from? If at all…aside from that .govt.ca site all other sites seem have little or nothing…or a heap of broken links.

Canada / Charles Stanley (Belleville, Ontario)
« on: Wednesday 06 November 13 22:27 GMT (UK) »
My Grandmother Betty was adopted. Last year I discovered her birth parents as Rose Edith Buck (1904) and Charles Stanley. Rose's family I have made contact with but Charles remains a mystery.
My top suspects were a married man in his 70's who would have died the year my grandmother was born. I was hopeful as the adoption papers listed Charles as deceased…but he died of prostate cancer and I can't imagine a geriatric with prostate cancer fathering a child nor do I want to…
Other descendants of suspects I've contacted don't hold much weight but there is a Charles Stanley who arrived on the Sarnia from Liverpool in 1891 as a British Home Child along with his brother Henry. They were both bound for Belleville (where my Grandmother was born) but aside from the passenger list, the trail is cold. So I'm looking for any random help or Home Child record searches outside of the Canadian registry from which I've come this far.
Sorry for the long post.
Cheers,
G.

Thanks Karen,
I believe my Great Grandfather was one. Are there records other than ship passenger lists where I might find out where in England he came from or where in Canada he was placed?
Charles Stanley arrived 1891 on the Sarnia with his brother Henry, from Liverpool bound for Belleville, Ontario (though I don't think the Marchmont home).
I should add, Charles Stanley is actually is just the name on my Grandmother's birth cert. I know nothing about him except his name and that he didn't stick around as Grandma was adopted.
