Looking For Info About Malcolm ( Murray? Bushey?0 Sewell

Surnames: Bushey, Murray, Sewell
I am trying to help a friend trace her father's (who is deceased)genealogy. Malcolm John Murray was born to John Murray and Viva Bushey according to a certified copy of registration of birth on 2-18-1923 in St. John, St. John Co., New Brunswick, Canada in the Evangeline Maternity Home. The copy states the parents were married but no additional information on parents such as age, birth place,
occupation, number of children etc. On 1-10-1924 Malcolm was adopted from the New Brunswick Protestant Orphans Home in St. John by a Edway B. Sewell of Coldstream in Carleton Co. N.B. Malcolm is listed as a destitute orphan. Does anyone have any information about these people? Can a child be declared an orphan if he wasabandoned by his birth parents. Any information or direction you can give me would be very appreciated.

Hello Sherry,
I have connections to Malcolm Sewell. His mother Barbara and my grandmother, Isa were sisters. Do you have history on Edway and Ben Sewell. I came across your post today when researching Ben's wife Martha.

Thank you for responding to my message. I don't have a lot of information for Edway and Barbara Sewell as they are Malcolm's adoptive parents and I am trying to help a friend locate her father's (Malcolm) birth parents. His biological parents are listed as Viva Bushey and John Murray on Malcolm's Canadian birth record from St. John, We can't get the actual birth certificate (which I hope will have more information) for 5 more years according to Canadian Vital Records rules. I do have some information on the Sewells which I think has enough support documentation to be accepted as true. If you would like I can send you an invitation to view my Bushey Tree. I would be interested in any info, photos, etc. you may have on Malcolm. Again, thanks for responding. Sherry
