British Home Children Society
British Home Children Society
100,000 British Home Children were sent to Canada to work as indentured farm labourers and domestic servants as part of the British Child Emigration Scheme to Canada (1870-1957). Their familial ties were broken once ‘in care’ and sent to Canada. Many British Home Children spent their lives trying to find their parents and siblings. Many of their descendants have inherited their ancestors’ lifelong search for their identities.The primary goal of the British Home Children Society is to maintain a comprehensive database of individual British Home Children records called the British Home Children Registry (50,000 records).
