Parents: George Arthur Anker and Alberta Morris married in Holborn, England, in 1897.

Alberta Anker of 62 Pynter-road Bush Hill Park, Enfield, Middlesex (wife of George Arthur Anker) died April 6, 1923, at St. James Infirmary Balham, Surrey, England. She left her estate consisting of 58 pounds, 14 shillings and 10 pence to her husband George.

In 1930, Kenneth Ankers, 14, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of young people through the Salvation Army scheme en route to the Salvation Army receiving home in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. His former employment had been as a leather worker; his intended occupation was to be farming; his nearest relation in England was his bro-in-law, Mr. W.
