NotesParents: William Francis Kite and Emma Walton, married June 2, 1901, at St John the Evangelist, Charlotte Street, Camden, Middlesex, England.

William Kite, Sr., was a sergeant in the Royal West Kent Regiment. Family stories indicate that the he had been a prisoner of war in Germany about 1916. He returned home to England in 1919, but shortly after could not be found, so his seven children were sent to child welfare. [William died in 1948 at the Star Garter military hospital.]

In 1924, Dorothy Ivy Kite, 12, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 88 Barnardo children, en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her next of kin given as father-Mr Francis W Kite, address not known, she stated she was born in Edmonton, and intended to be a school girl in Canada.
