I would guess Malakoff was abt 40 m S of Ottawa - also, I think it would be in Carleton Co back then.

I don't know if Mrs WH Pratt is her initials or his - if the latter, then this might be relevant:

A quick search on Ancestry shows an Archie Malony, wife Lizzie, in Gaspé, Quebec, dob 1880. There's also an Archibald Malone in Nova Scotia, dob 1873. If you find them via automatedgenealogy, it will give place of birth etc.

But no, both of them are in the same places in 1901, so it seems doubtful that's them.

There's no marriage in Ontario for an Archie Maloney

Never heard of Malakoff myself, but google maps tells me it's only about 20 miles south of Ottawa, to help anyone else pondering this. ;)

Canadian censuses are only accessible up to 1911 (1916 for parts of Western Canada) -- you can access the 1901 and 1911 free of charge at

www.automatedgenealogy.com

You can also search at Ancestry.ca and see basic results without paying.

There's no record of Arch* Malon* among Child Migrants:

Hello all I am trying to find my gg grandfather. My g grandmother was sent to canada in 1902. I have just got the barnados records and she was homed with Mrs WH PRATT Malakoff Ontario. Whilst there she got pregnant by Archie Maloney another boy employed by Mrs Pratt, English and sent by the salvation army (I think hard to read)

Was wondering if anyone had access to canaian census to see if he stayed in Canada??

Any help would be great thanks
