Fegan Founder James William Condell Fegan (1852 – 1925) was an English Nonconformist evangelist and the founder of a succession of orphanages for boys. His first home opened in 1872, and he was to become a friendly rival to Thomas John Barnardo. Later in the 1880s, emigration to other parts of the British Empire was being encouraged, and in 1884, Fegan took ten boys—and then fifty more—to Canada in 1884. A "distributing home" was given to him in Toronto, and from there annual parties of boys were sent to farms in various parts of the country.
