Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 62 Send Message	My husband's great Aunt, Ivy Stimpson, born a/m/j/ 1909 Paddington. When she was 16 she emigrated to Canada and lived thereafter in Toronto. She became the companion to a woman who was high in the Canadian Red Cross, a Mrs Ellen Birkenshaw. Ivy never married and died in the late 1980s we think. I have tried to search passenger lists for around 1925 but to no avail. Any help would be greatfully received! Thanks, Kim

	If you have a look at the collectionscanada site, then go to Genealogy centre and put her name in, there's an Ivy B Stimpson who went to Canada in 1924 aged 15. It looks as though she was one of the Home Children. Lots of websites about this - just Google!
