NotesAfter the sudden death of his father, who was a driver for the Tilling Coach Lines, his mother was sent to the Hoxton House Asylum. Her three young children were then split up. Rebecca and William both entered the Barnardo Homes while George (the eldest) went to live with his aunt and uncle. He was old enough to work and earn his keep. His aunt and uncle were Louisa (nee Barltrop) and Thomas W. Drinkal.

In the meantime both Rebecca and William were sent to Canada. Rebecca came first and was sent to the Maxwell's home in Cavan Twp in Ontario. William was sent to join her a year later.

They remained together for almost a year, but when Mrs. Maxwell's health began to fail they sent William back to Toronto where he was quickly sent out to live with the Schulz's in Morisson Twp in Muskoka. The Maxwells tried desperately to get William back but the Schulz's wouldn't hear of it and they cut off all communications between Rebecca and William. Rebecca was heartbroken when she learned that she could not have any more communication with her brother.

The Schulzs changed William's name from Hammond to their own and from then on he was known as William Schulz. His new family were strict Lutherans and, even though he was provided for, he was mistreated and was nothing more than a farm hand.

When his adoptive parents died he received nothing from their estate, their estate was given to someone else. William refused to speak German in his adult life and never spoke about them. It is not known if he ever knew what became of his sister.

Rebecca had died at the age of 16 in 1892. All that was said was that she had died of heart failure, but she too was nothing more than a "domestic". It is not known what became of their older brother, George, who remained behind in England.
