Notes |
- According to descendant, Vanessa Firmston (nee Prangley), "The info we have is that (Edward's father) Frank was a bit of a B..... Edward was put into a workhouse at a young age, and took off overseas.... travelled thru Canada, America, etc."
The list of Dr. Bernardo's Home Children who were shipped to Canada as "orphans" includes and Albert Prangley, age 15, shipped in 1889 on the SS Sardinian, along with his brother Thomas, age 13. They match exactly to the ages of this Edward Albert and his brother Thomas, and would give clarity to the story above.
