William Piggott

Revd Father, O´Reilly. P.P. Leslieville P.O.

This lad has a good place in the Priest´s house who speaks in the highest terms of him. He is happy and contented. Unfortunately he is subject at times to fits though otherwise very healthy.

Holborn Union

Joseph O´Brien

 

Patrick O´Brien Buckley P.O.

According to the Register Patrick Doherty is the name of the Foster Parent

Patrick O´Brien who lives in a miserable hovel knows nothing whatever of this lad having never seen him. I searched through the Township but could find no other person of the same name nor any trace of the lad. Evidently a mistake in the address.

Derby Union

William Holland

R. Street Havelock P.O.

This boy is with an old couple who have no children at home and is well cared for. A very fair house. Healthy lad and contented. Taken for his clothes and board no agreement being signed as to time.

?? Ham Union

William Mansfield

Geo. Billbrough Purbrook P.O.

This Bilbrough from all I can hear is a worthless idle fellow and cannot earn sufficient to keep himself and wife without being burdened with a child. The lad should he at once received he has no prospect where he is that I can see as they appear to live upon their neighbours most of the time. Have notified the House at Bellville.
