Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Liverpool Sheltering Home : The Liverpool Sheltering Home, a child welfare organization, was founded in 1872 by Mrs. Louisa Birt with the help of Samuel Smith, a Liverpool merchant and Member of Parliament. Louisa Birt's eldest sister, Annie Macpherson, was, with Maria Rye, one of the pioneers of child emigration to Canada. With another sister, Rachel Merry, Louisa Birt had supervised the Home of Industry in Spitalfields, London, before opening the Liverpool Sheltering Home. Guardians' consent to emigration was a precondition of acceptance into the Home, and the first party left for Nova Scotia in 1873. In 1877, a receiving home was established in Knowlton in the eastern townships of Quebec. The Liverpool Sheltering Home continued with its emigration work until it was absorbed in the Dr. Barnardo's Homes in 1926.
