http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/dbsig/dbsig-quick-search.php?dbsig_num=1&letter=S&surname=SCALESHi I hope this gives you access to the database British Home Children.
please say if not.
When I clicked on the above link, it takes you into the open database. Above the records listed are the alphabet letters. Click on the letter for surname you want. It then gives the first 3 letters of surnames begin with eg H. Click on nearest for surname needed. Will list them. if when you see your desired BHC/British child Migrant., front screen has basic details but if Click the icon symbol above left of the name (looks bit like looking down on a frying pan with a plus sign on it) and the whole record opens. scroll down if lucky there will be information under "notes", of various amounts. Some unfortunately have none or a basic note. Others are full of valuable information.
Let me know if I can help more. I am granddaughter of a 12 year boy from UK sent to Western Australia, Fairbridge, Pinjarra until age 21. He therefore was repatriated with three similar cases, on SS Ormonde, in 1937.
