Very little is known of Henry & Rose Street. Henry
and his brother were both Royal navy sailors serving aboard the ships
listed above. Circa 1936 Rose died of what is thought to have been
"blood poisoning" after a medical procedure. Subsequent to Rose’s sudden
passing, and in keeping with the custom of that time, the 6 Street
children were taken and placed into state care. Henry survived into the
1970’s but the family had been separated and little contact was kept
between them. |
| Little is known of the Foster families, but
Derek (b. 1928 in Christchurch Dorset) was eventually placed with the
Bursey family and they were kind people to him. He never forgot them and
kept in touch with “Buzz”
Bursey, his foster brother and his family
until early the 21st century. Buzz and his family lived in
Richmond Hill Ontario and were still family. |

Irene Street worked in “service” for Mrs. Fazer,
reportedly a wonderful lady, until she retired with a respectable
pension to the Bournemouth area in the late
1970's. |
| Cynthia became a solicitor. |
|
Derek married Audrey Holloway and built a small
house in Upton. They moved to Acton Ontario to work at Avro in 1958. As
that was not a good year for Avro, they eventually settled in Guelph
Township (Eramosa Heights)
Ontario. Derek worked at Budd Canada and became a CET until his
retirement in the mid 1980’s. Audrey worked at the tannery in Acton
before she became the St. Georges school secretary in Guelph. Later she
became secretary to Dr. & Mrs. Stott, owners of Brooks Educational
Publishing, a position she truly oved. They had 2 children, Cheryl and
Kevin. |
