Robert Davies email received today formerly (Unwin)

I attended Golding's between 1964 along with my brother Colin Davis and continued at the Waterford Hostel on the printing course until 1967.
Don't think I can make the reunion at such short notice though because I live in Rotherham.

Hi Dave,
Barnardo’s favourite Dickey Boy and Goldings ‘licker’ (Alan Dearman)along with his really nice wife Margaret are on their way home to Blighty. We believe they will tell you that they had a great time here in Canada.
They went on the ‘Maid of the Mist’ (boat) to the bottom of Niagara Falls and went on a wine tasting tour in the Niagara Peninsular amongst other things, and as well experienced having ‘David Wheatley’s Delicious Baked Salmon’ for dinner on one occasion.
Alan also was the guest speaker at a Barnardo function on ‘British Home Child Day’, an annual event which takes place on September 28th each year. He got us all laughing, speaking about cockroaches – and explaining Goldings' unique colloquial slang like ‘Richard the Third’- ‘Crusties’ and several other words. He did a very good job representing Barnardo’s and embarrassing the only other Dicky Boy in the room.
Ask him and Margaret about Tim Horton’s coffee shop. They wouldn’t let us pass one, so that they could get a Canadian Maple donut. The entire time we were with them was really just wonderful.
Reg and Donna

Hello Peter D. regarding your getting in touch with someone in Canada who could help find relatives migrated from England to Canada during the past century.
There’s rather a nice lady who I’m sure will help you find some details regarding British Barnardo children who were migrated to Canada. Her name is Ivy Sucie. Unfortunately, for privacy reasons I shouldn’t give out her email address on the internet.
However my email address, which has already been displayed on this site several times is: longman.rd@gmail.com.
If you would like to send me an email direct, I will be pleased to send you Ivy’s.
You could of course contact Barnardo’s Making Connections, they too will give you the information you are looking for, however they will quite possibly charge you for any research they do. It wouldn’t cost anything if you contact Ivy.
Regards, Reg
