Wharton
Tweet
I am looking for a John J. Wharton, who according to my records was the son of Henry and Polllie Wharton born 1895 and in 1905 went from the Middlemore Home in Birmingham to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he ended up living with a Samuel and Fannie Hoyt in Bright, New Brunswick and later married a Ruby Ella Allen of Lower Hainesville, New Brunswick. I can't seem to find any information on him prior to his leaving Middlemore.
