Hello. Your post dates back a few years so I don't know if I will hear back from you but I thought I would try anyway.
My husband's great-grandfather was one of the British 'home children'. His name was Joseph Harrison and he was born on November 30, 1872 - in either Liverpool or Birmingham, I think. He came to Canada, possibly on the SS Circassian in 1882, possibly via Mrs. Birt's Liverpool Sheltering Home which was/is located on Myrtle Street in Liverpool. When he came to Canada it was with one (possibly two with one dying asea) siblings. I believe his surviving sibling was either a George or a William. There's an intriguing envelope returned undeliverable to the Sheltering Home from Willie Harrison in Canada in 1894. It was addressed to an Elizabeth Harrison, Queens Terrace, Woodburn Sq., Douglas Isle of Man.
When I saw "George Harrison", "Elizabeth" and "Myrtle" all in the same post, I felt compelled to find out if there's any connection at all. What do you think?
