| Description | Indexed. Gives name of boy; born; date of admission to Homes; date when sent to service; name and address of employer; subsequent career - date, remarks. Some entries give a considerable amount of detail about the boy's subsequent service. The volume also contains those going to other places, such as the WB Boys' Home, and emigrating to Canada.
The volume also contains loose pages relating to children who were emigrated. These are mainly reports from Middlemore Home, Halifax, Nova Scotia, giving updates on children from the Birmingham Poor Law Union who had been emigrated. They all date from 1910. They do not appear to relate to children in this volume, and some of them relate to girls. There are also several pages of handwritten notes dating from 1910 to 1926, mainly consisting of lists of names and addresses. |
