Hi!,There, I am looking for any information on my Great-Grandfather.
His name was Antoine Arnold.He was Given this adopted name after he
was found on the streets of England around 1880`s,Kent area I think?.
How he became lost, was a story on it`s own.He came to
came to England by his Grandfathers fishing Vessel from France,Their
last name was or sounded like MATTISH,MITTISH,MATHIAS,MATHIS,MATHIUS,
MATHIES,or MATHEWS? We aren`t really sure.After awhile he went missing
and no-one ever found him,except he was found on the streets.He was then
apparently,taken to Dr.Barnardo`s homes in or around Liverpool.England.
After awhile,He was sent to Canada to be with a Family,Their name was
Cunnington.He was given his new adopted name Arnold,either on the streets
or at Dr.Barnardo`s.Anyone with any information on this man (Antoine Arnold)
