Family tradition held that Edward's father died young in England leaving a young wife and 5 small children. The two oldest were sent to the Blue Coat School, and a few years later the three youngest were sent to Canada with Middlemore. Edward's mother came to Canada and worked as a domestic in Manitoba then later sent for her two children left in England at the Blue Coat School. They arrived in Montreal where Edward worked chopping ice in the St. Lawrence for a while before heading west to join his mother.
