REMEMBERING BRITAIN’S FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
HISTORY THROUGH THE EYES OF OUR ANCESTORS
One day in May 1912, eight-year-old Grace Griffin, along with older sister Lillian, boarded the SS Corsican. Te London-born girls were to start new lives in Canada, after childhoods spent in care – their father committed suicide, their mother’s new husband refused to have anything to do with them and, in 1911, their mother died. Across the Atlantic, they hoped to meet loving families that would look after them.
