SHARDALOW, Edward John

1866 - 1932  (65 years)

• Name	SHARDALOW, Edward John
  Nickname	John
  Birth	6 Sep 1866	Thorpe Next Haddiscoe, Norfolk, England
  Christening	30 Sep 1866
  Gender	Male
  Census	1871	Hemsby, Norfolk, UK
  	1871 Census: Annie and John staying with grandfather and 3 aunts, visiting from Thorpe. Hemsby is 17 miles north of Thorpe next Haddiscoe.
  Departure	20 Apr 1882 - 14 May 1882	Liverpool to Quebec
  	Sailed on the Dominion Line SS Mississippi. Apparently under the custody of a Reverend and with many young boys. It seems he was a 'Home Child'. Aged 14 (he would actually have been 15). He is listed as Edd with the 2nd "d" raised. I think the record indicates that he was destined for the National Childrens Home (charity) in Hamilton, Ontario 42 miles from Toronto. Albert George Shardalow also went to that Home in the same year and also crossed the atlantic in April. In 1873 the charity set up an emigration scheme and the home in Hamilton. The charity had been set up by Methodist Minister Thomas Bowman Stephenson - I think his name is on the passenger list as the Reverend accompanying the children across the atlantic.
  Residence	1891	New Westminster, Vancouver, Canada
  	1891 Canada Census records him as a farmer living with Jacob Dely? a 24 yo German. It states that John was a methodist. It also seems to say that John had a 'shanty' (shack).

  	Travels on RMS Invernia arriving in Liverpool 5 June 1900. Travels 'steerage' along with 722 others.
  Departure	9 Feb 1901	Liverpool to Portland, Maine, USA
  	"E J Shardelow" is on the passenger list. Returned to North America on the SS Cambroman, from Liverpool to Portland, USA. Travels Second Saloon (would have cost about $40 I think; about $1200 today - 2021).
