[EDITORS NOTE: In 1911, Clara Skinner, 37, is shown as a widow working as a sick nurse at Vale Mascal Mansion, Bromley, Kent, England.]

In 1911, William David Skinner, 11 (along with brother, Arthur G. Skinner, 10), arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 205 Barnardo boys en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

On October 9, 1926, at Windsor, Essex, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between William David Skinner, 22, machinist, born in England to Wm David Skinner and Clara Caddick; and Myrtle Walker, 25, born in Coulson, Ontario, Canada, to John Walker and Sarah Cook.

It appears that their mother, Clara Skinner, may have arrived in Canada on August 1, 1913, on the ship Empress of Britain. A Clara Skinner, aged 46, widow, was on that voyage. Further, on November 10, 1923, a marriage was registered between Clara Skinner, 51 (widow, born about 1871 in England, daughter of David Caddick and Harriet Morier) and William Carmody, 51.
