They are here and as I feared there was not very many pages to be had; but what was included was absolute gold. It had the day he went to the Liverpool Sheltering home and the tragic circumstances that surounded him being in the home. There was also his mothers new married name and the fact he wrote to her after he got married. They also have the name of the man he was placed with.So there is no question he is the John Jones we are looking for. There were no mention of the quarterly reports that Col Laurie was supposed to have written about the children in Nova Scotia. There was nothing written about him from 1875 until he was 28 years old in 1896. 10 years and no one watching out for you. Interesting - the silence speaks volumes. Barnardos supplied some background information about the Marchmount Home in Belleville under the belief he went there. So if you do a request for information and your Home Child went with Louisa Birt to Nova Scotia it would be prudent to let them know. It is all on the same batch of microfilms so they would have no way of knowing. Their knowledge of our country would be about the same as mine is of theirs so they would not realise that going to Belleville then back to Nova Sotia would require 17 hours of backtracking on todays roads. All in all I am happy with it - I gleamed a little bit into the life of John Jones.
