Thank you for replying to me. Yes Mary was first sent to Barnardos in Devon in 1921 and then to Toronto in 1924. I have her government inspection report that says she was "completed" in 1927. A DNA test revealed a child born in 1938 that she gave away to the sister of the childs father. What frustrates me and the relatives that I am working with is that Barnardos will not release the records because they say she had another child, and it's up to US to prove that child is not still alive. How can we do it without knowing who the child is. Mary's niece says Mary told her she was raped while under Barnardos supervision and I suspect that they do not want this revealed. I am going to contact the IOC since the Privacy laws are not intended to conceal a crime.
