Hi Morgana,

I'm so please to hear of your progress.

I do agree with you of course.....that it's hard to understand why two children would be neglected by living parents' and it's particularly difficult when the parents' kept the youngest with them. Unless the elder two were taken from them! Whatever, you'll probably never know the truth and we have to remember times were much harder back then.

Have you knowledge of Francis and James after 1901? I ask ,as a lot of children living in orphanages were sent to Canada, maybe this was Francis and Charles' fate.

Hope your research continues to be successful

Best of luck
