I think flu,.cholera, and other diseases killed the parents of many. Others were dumped into care because the families were too poor to raise them.

Thank you Art , for your informative post , regarding the BHC !

Today , my friend & I were at Diane & Marg's talk at the Campbellford Library . So very interesting , with such a mixture of emotions , relating to their personal stories of family members ( Diane's grandfather & Marg's grandmother ) who were British Home Children .

What was the cause of all these orphans that came out of Britain? That has never been fully explained.
