I presume you have his birth date from the 1901 Census when he lived with Fred & Agnes Thompson.In that record, it states that he emigrated to Canada in 1892. There is a record of a Ben Curd arriving in Canada in 1891 - source: FRY, DOUGLAS, AND CATHERINE GOLLINGER-LORENTE. Fegan Index of Home Children. Renfew, ON: Home Children Canada, 1998. 59p.
There is a record for a Benjamin Curd, b. London:
England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915 about Benjamin Curd
Name: Benjamin Curd

You could order the above record to see if that is indeed your Benjamin.Sorry I couldn't help you more, if at all.Annie
