Hi
My Great grandmother was married to a William John James in 1917, her name was Cicley Mary Harris. He is a possible canadian who was at Whitley Camp, he was 31 in 1917.
What I am trying to find is whether he was canadian, and also my family seem to think he was a Barnados boy, I don't know where this is from....
I have the marriage cert but it just says his age in 1917 his father John William Harris was deceased in 1917.

Thanks in advance for any help

You would be best to check with Barnados, a bit more on their history here: http://www.barnardos.org.uk/what_we_do/our_history.htm. Their records give you the person's name, full date of birth and place of birth and a lot more.

Steven.

How old was William James when he married? There is a search engine for Canadian Home Children... it lists 18 William James (a few do have middle names so wouldn't count but no William John listed)

OOPS I see you said he was 31....
