| Notes |
- Charles Henry Joseph SUMNER (1880-1943) was committed to the Victorian Neglected Childrens System (No. 17808) on 24 Nov 1890 soon after the arrest of his father for coining (counterfeiting). He was fostered by people in the Bendigo area and later at Gisborne from where he absconded on 26 September 1894.
Neglected Childrens' Registers
Charles SUMNER, 1880, Vol 11, p.175.
He did not return to the system although he was in contact with the department on several occasions including one instance where [sadly] he was refused the address of his youngest brother Arthur. The reason for the refusal appears to be they believed him "to be a wanderer and were unable to ascertain anything concerning his general character". He certainly did change his address many times as the records show him living in Port Darwin NT, Manly NSW, Preston VIC, Reservoir VIC and High St. Preston where he worked as an assistant cook for Mr. F.J. Vincent, Dairy Farmer. This confirms the family story that he worked as a cook. There is also a family legend suggesting that he spent some time in New Zealand and in the "islands".
