Hello,
I am a descendant of George Joseph Poole, born 1852 in Birmingham from what I can tell. He married Louise Ann Rowland in 1875, in Leeds. They had four children, Emma, William, George and Herbert.
George and Herbert were sent to Canada as home children upon the death of their father George and mother Louise in 1886. Herbert passed shortly after arriving in 1887 aged 5. George, age 7 on arrival, went on to be married and have a family (of which I am decended).
I can't seem to find any information on the other siblings, Emma and William, or what happened to their parents George and Louise.
I believe George's father George (died 1886) had 4 siblings, William, Arthur, Alfred and Emily.
Any help or resources I could access online would be great with regards to building out the family tree in England.
Thank you!
