Census and Census Substitutes
- 1940 National Registration resulted from the compulsory registration of all adults (16 and older) in Canada from 1940 to 1946. This information was originally obtained to permit the mobilization of all the human and material resources of the nation for World War Two.
- 1918 National Registration (no link - no data). A national registration was undertaken during the First World War in June 1918; however, those records have not survived.
- NOTE: See Canadian Searchable Online Databases for online census indexes and original census documents and census substitutes for Canada
Home Children
- Fegans Home James Fegan began his work amongst destitute boys in 1870, his first home being in Deptford in South East London. In 1882 the work was transferred to Southwark. The orphanage in Stony Stratford opened in 1900 and a training farm in Goudhurst, Kent, operated from about 1910. James Fegan's initial work was very much one of rescue - seeking out those who had nowhere to live and no one to care for them. Many of the boys were relocated to Canada.
- Quarriers Homes Quarriers was founded by William Quarrier over 130 years ago to re-home orphaned and destitute children in Scotland. Between 1871 and 1938, Quarriers, known at that time as The Orphan Homes of Scotland, sent over 7,000 children to new lives in Canada.

their cultures.
