Think you need to be a little more specific with information on your ancestors, dates, names etc.,
You can just add you enquiry on to the previous thread you have and then people don't waste time  duplicating information that has already been given.

I see there is a Nancy R.E. Meugens on the 1881 England census who was an authoress and teacher. She was born in Lambeth, Surrey about 1845. The LDS site has a birth for a Nancy Regina Emily Meugens in 1845 to Peter Joseph Meugens and Elizabeth Caroline:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/9WVT-MGF/p1
There is also a birth for a Theodore Mark Allegro Meugens to the same parents:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.2/9HLS-P5T/p1

The Free BMD has a marriage for Marc Allegree T Mengens (the typo with his name is part of the index, not a transcription error by the Free BMD database transcriber) with an Edith Younghusband on the same page in Birkenhead, Cheshire in the 1st quarter of 1870 (vol 8a, page 531).

If that is the correct Nancy, then it appears she was the aunt of Hubert and Arthur who emigrated to Canada.

Please hit modify button on your reply number three and remove the forname of the living person...
to read "P. Meugens in BC"...... If, however, they are already listed online, you can then post a URL to that listing instead. We are a genealogy/ family "history" site.
Also, if you are doing a one name study, there is a board on this forum for that.  J.J.

If you found P at the same website I did, there is an email contact. Did you try this? There will be no public birth info available for this person if she was b. in BC due to privacy laws. This could also be her married name?

British Home Children are very special.

We search for information but it is up to the thread owner to verify that it is correct.

My maternal grandfather was Hubert Theodore (Ted) Meugens. He married Mary Isobel Watson
In 1912 in B C.  They had one child, Norah Helen Marcia (Noni), my mother b. 1915.
