I was born on May 5 1940 at Salvation Army Hospital in Hamilton, ON. I was brought to Sarnia on July 12, 1940. Here is the information I got from requesting "non-identifying" documents: My birth mother was "committed" around 1935 as her home "had been broken up and her father was unable to look after her and her sister". In August 1939 she went to the theatre where her boyfriend was working construction (this was likely The Palace Theatre in Galt). Another male offered them both a ride home. This male dropped her boyfriend off first, and then instead of driving her home, which was only two blocks further, he drove her out on the highway (likely Dundas Highway, now Highway 5), turned onto a side road, and forced her to have sexual relations, after which he drove her home. She told her boyfriend about this, he confronted the other male, who denied it. In the case files, she states this was her first intercourse experience. This led to her pregnancy. She was 19. While pregnant, she expressed that she wanted the child (me) to be adopted. After my birth, she told the Childrens Aid Society of Hamilton/Lambton that she wanted to keep me. I was made a temporary ward for one year. At some point I was adopted by Vesta Burnett and Albert Robbins. I’m not sure what ever happened to my birth mother. The birth father was working at the [__redacted__, but presumably the Palace Theatre] "during its erection in Galt". When the construction job was done he left and went to ___, and the name of the construction firm was ___. The same construction firm were "building a new Woolworth store in Kitchener, and he may be working there as a key man". He told her boyfriend to "get her a place to stay and I will pay her board", which was taken as admitting to the rape. There is no further information about the investigation. I attended Sarnia Collegiate in the 50’s, and left my adoptive family at 16 due to abuse. I did not keep in touch with adopted family including siblings, so am also looking for information about them. Surnames of interest: Robbins, Jamieson, Masters
