On the site
http://www.1911census.co.uk/ there is a listing for a Victor William FORDHAM born 1898 in Henstead,Norfolk, England. The problem is, in order to see the rest of the page you have to pay, so I'll leave it up to you. I wouldn't be surprised if it is an orphanage since he didn't know his parents' names. He joined the army in 1915 so he was in Canada by then. Love to know if you find him there in the 1911 census.
