Hello Padraig - it might be an idea to click on Stacey's name and send her a direct message. She'll be notified of that, whereas you can't be sure she'll pick up a message left on the boards.

Hello Stacey John Joseph McGreal 1858. Did you get what I suggested from Liverpool registration office . The family tree I emailed you which you confirmed was correct omitted the best connection I have from my database to Westport. This is about mutual sharing of information. To help you on your way the John I have matching yours was sponsored by John McGreal and Catherine Malley at his christening presided over by a M McHale CC and the family are not recorded as McGreal in the Griffiths Valuation but a variant of the surname.

Hi Stacey, there are so many things on line about Home Children it could keep you busy for a long time :)
I googled this
"home children" "st george's home" ottawa
and found numerous things, like
http://www.bytown.net/homekids.htm
You can add Timothy's name to the list of Home Children in Ottawa at that site.
Timothy was one of the later arrivals (home children continued to go to Australia for many years after the practice stopped for Canada) and he was an older boy, and probably had some say in his fate and knew he was going to Canada to work in agriculture. He was one of quite a few who decided not to stay once they were old enough to return.
The hard truth is that had many of the children stayed in England (those who were really orphaned and destitute, not those whose parents were lied to or tricked), especially in the cities before 1900, they would have had at least equally hard lives, without the opportunities that some home children did manage to find despite the isolation from home and family.

This was Timothy returning in 1928:
UK Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960 Name: Timothy Mcgreal Birth Date: abt 1909 Age: 19 Port of Departure: New York, New York, United States Arrival Date: 30 Apr 1928 Port of Arrival: Liverpool, England Ship Name: Montclare Shipping Line: Cunard Line Official Number: 145923
Although it states he'd arrived from New York the original image says he'd embarked at New Brunswick (St John NB). He was a tailor's presser and his address in England was to be with Mrs M McGreal, 7 Netherfield Place, Liverpool.
Might be coincidence, but seems to tie in with John and Mary, as per the outgoing trip to Canada and the 1911 census for that couple.
Certificates definitely needed.

There is a John and Mary McGreal on the 1911, is it possible they just couldn't cope with their children and some went in the workhouse, subsequently to Canada?

There is no death or remarriage for an Edith Mcgreal (the one death for that name is a younger Edith who married a different Mcgreal).
Timothy's own death record shows him to have had his Sept 1908 birthday before his death later in the year in 1961
Name: Timothy McGreal Birth Date: abt 1908 Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1961 Age at Death: 53 Registration district: Bradford Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding Volume: 2b Page: 120

His arrival in Canada (I know you may already have this)
Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 Name: Timothy McGrael Gender: Male Age: 16 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1909 Birth Country: England Date of Arrival: 28 Aug 1925 Vessel: Montnairn Port of Arrival: Quebec Port of Departure: Liverpool, England Roll: T-14718
His trip was arranged by the Liverpool Guardians.
His next of kin in England is given as John McGreal, 7 Netherfield Place, Liverpool - perhaps his brother? EDIT: Or is it his father? See 1911 posted below.
He and all of the other children on the ship were going to Mother Evangelist, 1155 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario.
There are a number of items on Mother Evangelist O'Keeffe if you Google.
