These have been captured from The National Archives MH19/11 series.
Documents within the MH19 series contain Local Government Board copies of enclosures and reports regarding the emigrations of pauper children to Canada between 1887-1892.
Within this, there are detailed reports compiled by the Secretary, Department of Agriculture, on instruction from the Dominion of Canada Immigration Officer, giving comments about children’s condition, health, character, schooling, and frequency of church attendance. They also include the union or parish where the children came from.
