The Caroline in the Emigrants Home does not show up on the 1901 Census ................ it is possible that she was sent as Home Child to Canada or to Australia.

The Caroline who went to Canada does not seem to match your Caroline, but you would have to buy the birth certificate for mmn Bratt to be sure.


Although the 1911 does show niece Amelia Bratt living with Caroline and Richard ..........
