My Great uncle Thomas Davies was emigrated to Canada on the Corinthian when he was 12 he was last heard of in Feb 1942 by Barnardos living in Toronto Ontario at 55 Mountray st. Barnardos have sent me photos of him but will not give me anymore info as i am not his next of kin as he probably has children or grandchildren in Canada, has anyone any ideas of how i can find out what became of him in Canada, where do i go from here?

There are 5 Thomas Davies listed in the Ontario phone book. Two Thomas, Thomas I. Thomas DB and Thomas J. Try: www.mytelus.com and check the phone book. You can check other provinces on there too.

Forgot to mention he was born 26th March 1900 would just like to know what became of him when he got to Canada, if he married and had children etc. Would like know why he was placed in Barnardos in the first place.
