Edgar and Edith moved from Ontario to Manitoba and then to Saskatchewan, where they had a farm homestead from 1903 - this has stayed in the family. Their granddaughter, Edith King, lives there with her husband and family. They celebrated the centenary of Mott Farm recently and the road it is on is now named Mott!

From a letter Cousin Edith received from the National Children's Home, I also found out the story behind the emigration of the four children of William Henry Vingoe to Canada: After his death in 1882, Sarah Ann, his widow, was finding it hard to make ends meet. She applied to the National Children's Home to take Edith, who was received into the home on 17 March 1885. 

In the letter it says Sarah Ann "was unable to maintain her family on her limited income (two shillings and sixpence per week) as a needlewoman.  Edith lived at our London Home until emigrating  to our Canada Branch in Hamilton in 1890. She was described as an honest, good tempered, spirited child.  She was placed as a servant in the home of Rev Dr and Mrs Cochrane at Brantford.  She was very keen to train as a nurse, but was not accepted because she was not tall enough.  It appears that she then worked at our Hamilton Branch until the late 1890s and she married Edgar Mott in 1899.  She returned to England for a short while in 1898 and visited her mother. During this time she worked for a while at our Alverstoke Branch on the South Coast, looking after crippled and delicate children, returning to Canada in 1899.  She last wrote to National Children's Home in 1956, with the help of her daughter Mrs S W Jefferson.  She was then living in New Westminster.  She was then aged 84."

Elizabeth (Bessie) Roberts Vingoe was "admitted to the Home 13 May 1889, aged 17.  She had been in service in Penzance, but times were hard, she was unhappy and her mother felt she would have a better chance in life if she was able to go abroad. Bessie sailed to Canada on  17 May 1889 and was placed in the household of Rev and Mrs Holmes at Stratford and Owensands, where she stayed until May 1892, when she moved to Toronto, Ontario.  The last letter on her file was from the home of a Mr and Mrs Manton.  Bessie had a considerable amount of ill health".

William Henry Vingoe, born 01 February 1880, "went to Canada in March 1896 after an application from his mother, who felt he would have a better chance in life.  After a brief stay in Hamilton, he went to live with Bessie and her husband at Brantford. He was there for three years and then worked for a firm called James Smith & Co, making harness and saddlery for horses and goats, returning to Hamilton for holidays.

These three people kept in touch with each other and with mother."

Mabel was not admitted to the Home.
