Today I had the honour of joining the congregation of St. Andrew's United Church in Vernon Bridge to tell them about the Middlemore children who came to PEI. Their theme for the service was kindness to others and extending a hand to those in need. #awfulkind #britishhomechildren
Preparing for a presentation to a group in Eastern PEI this evening. I'll be talking about the 74 children who lived in the area and the homes in which they were settled. #homechildren #awfulkind #middlemore
Digging @CMCa2z about writing. How do you know if a sentence is written in the passive voice? If you can add "by zombies" after the verb!
Spent the weekend adding First World War records to the manuscript, about 20 of the PEI Middlemore children served. #middlemore #britishhomechildren #History #Awfulkind #PEI
John Willoughby believed that Ellen, a home child sent to live in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, in the late 1800s, to was L.M. Montgomery's inspiration for Anne of Green Gables. bit.ly/2FttVKI #homechildren #awfulkind
Two young girls sent to PEI in the 1870s by Maria Rye, Emma Singer, 11, and Charlotte Ives, 13. We have no more information than that...looking forward to finding out what happened to them.
Just contacted by the granddaughter of a little girl sent to PEI by Middlemore at the age of 2 who wasn't on my list...let's keep it growing! #homechildren #britishhomechildren #awfulkind #PEI
How many children did Dr. Barnardo send to PEI? We may never know, but we can try to find out! #britishhomechildren
