My husbands grandfather was a Middlemore boy, sent over in 1905 on the SS. SIBERIAN. He was age 15. Mothers name was Polly and Fathers name was Henry Wharton (this is on James marriage cert.) I would love to be able to speak to either a family member of one of the children who came over in 1905 on the Siberian, they may know something of my husbands grandfather. As near as I can find out the children were sent over with a bible and a trunk.
His "adopted parents" were a Mr and Mrs Samuel Hoyt of Bright New Brunswick.
