Parents were William Henry Harris and Annie Ryan Victor Nelson Harris (known as Mick) b. 27/04/1898 Haggerston London Charles c.1897 John c.1901 Victor and Charles possibly left Liverpool October 1910 on the Corsican heading for Quebec. John were not sure about but we do know he married and had at least four children - Jean Guy, Lilianne, Gisard and Jeannie. Jill

That should bring you to a list with Home Children 1869 1930. Click on that which should bring you right in. A more difficult way is to go to www.collcectionscanada.ca and try to find it. To search the Canadian censuses for the early part of the century go to www.automatedgenealogy.com This is a free site done by volunteers and still growing. Hope this helps and good luck. Judy
