• Notes

  In the early 1890s George (Senior) was prevailed upon (most probably by his mother-in-law, Hannah Dry) to allow the boys to go into a children's home, and places were found for them at "The Fagan's Home for Boys" in Southwark Street in London, just south of the River Thames. Conditions in children's homes in Victorian England were very harsh and there is no reason to believe that the Fagan's Home in Southwark was any different. Discipline would have been rigid, corporal punishment severe, and the chores and work within the Home repetitive and monotonous. On the plus side, the inmates of the Home were fed, they had beds to sleep in, they were safe from the depredations of a life on the streets, they were educated in the three Rs, and they were normally taught some kind of trade outside the Home. Many of them were also given the opportunity to emigrate to overseas countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where there were better prospects for them to prosper, and we know that this is what happened to George's younger brother, William Henry, who sailed from Liverpool for a new life in Canada in 1897, when he would have been 14 years old. He helped build bridges on the QEW and that he was an expert stone mason. William Varley smoked a pipe and would make one filling last the whole day. He boarded at the home of James and Harriet Buszard. (Grace (Varley) Reynolds) [4, 14, 15]
