Please does anyone know of or have access to free sites that list the names, dates of departure and destinations of children sent abroad from cottage homes in Liverpool between 1911 and 1922. Thank you. |

Hello Katqueen, there are a few sites that list "home children" that went to Canada - is that a possible direction? |

No. I havent posted about it before. I just remarked on it as a possible reason for not being able to find any trace of an ancestor. Sorry if I should have added it to the original thread but thought I had to start again as it was a completely new line of enquiry. The person I am seeking is Sarah Meadley ( in 1911 census as Medley) born in Liverpool in 1906 to Thomas and Ann Meadley. |

Jax. I thought you meant was I personally related to Sarah Medley. My last thread was quite recent. |

Thank you Roy. Will check that out and let you know if I get anywhere. |

Have checked for those years but no record of a Sarah Medley. Are there similar sites for Australia and New Zealand where I understand children from cottage homes were also sent? |

I remember looking for Sarah on the Canadian Home Children sites but found nothing. Have you Googled for Australia and New Zealand? |

Hi Potty. Have tried googling for Australia and New Zealand but I think it was only Rootsweb that seemed to have anything to offer but it was a bit vague and you needed to pay for membership. The results were for Australia but couldn't find anything at all for New Zealand |

Surely if she had left the country in that name, someone would have found it and posted it on the other thread |

Jax. You may very well be right and that could be the answer as to why there is no record of a possible marriage. Idid find one and sent for the marriage certificate but the parents names weren't right. It sort of adds up doesn't it. Thanks for taking the trouble to answer me as I never thought of adoption as a possibility. |

Sorry about that. My computer is on a go slow and when it does decide to play ball it seems to be doing things twice! |
