Canada / Re: Missing Home Child
« on: Monday 21 October 24 19:59 BST (UK) »Hello ReeseG,
For clarification…
I’m assuming your John also came to Canada? Was his first wife Matilda?
PB
Hiya! John Fitzjohn also came to Canada from St Mary's Orphanage and married Mathilda who is my great-grandmother. I am not sure why the boys were separated or why James disappears.

Hi PB, I wondered if he made up his parents names as well. But I found Mary's death cert and the boys dropoff to the workhouse and they both reference the same address. 1 and 2 Cross Street, Whitechapel, so I am hopeful that I am on the right track.

I found a marriage between James Fitzjohn and Mary Ann Katon on April 25, 1864. I think it's probably correct.

Hi JJ. I believe that you are correct with Caton. I found what I believe to be James’ birth record and the mother is listed as Caton. It seems to correspond to the death records and to the boys admission dates to Whitechapel Workhouse.

Thank you! John Fitzjohn is my great-grandfather.
I think that James was his brother, both were Catholic and sent from the same Workhouse/Orphanage.
I will look at the boys who stayed in Quebec, he may indeed have stayed there as there is no evidence that they made it to Ottawa.
I am go grateful to this community.

I believe that James Fitzjohn is my great-grandfather's brother. However, once. he arrives in Canada, he disappears. Could he have died on the ship?

Amazing!
The bride is Mary Pond, she married William Fitzjohn at St. Leonard's in Shoreditch. I am trying to find their child(ren) to see if they are my great-grandfather's parents as I know that they are called William and Mary.
My great-grandfather was John Fitzjohn, and in 1881 at St Mary's Orphanage. I think his birth name was William and had a brother James as those names are listed in care in 1871.
Thank you so much!
