I thank anyone, in advance, for any help or suggestions.

I am researching a family where one of the boys was sent to Canada as a Home Child. His subsequent marriage certificate states "Parents Unknown." In what circumstances would this appear on a certificate? Could it be that he chose, because of bad memories perhaps, not to remember his parents? Maybe he resented them for allowing him to be sent away and chose to 'forget' them.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
