	I think you'll find that governments in most places like Canada, England and the US pay foster parents these days I don't think the same was true anywhere in 1850 :-) in England, some children were placed as 'nurse children' and an allowance paid by local authorities, but that was the exception Dianne, can you tell us how you know things? how do you know Thomas moved to Canada when he was 19? how do you know that the Thomas living with the Barker family in NY is your Thomas? you do have a point about the two children in the 1871 census - obviously born before the marriage!
