NotesJoseph was sent to Canada at the age of 9. His brother James - 3 years older than Joseph - was sent on a different ship later on. Their 2 sisters stayed in England.

It is still unclear how Joseph and James came to be in an orphanage. Their father, Wilton Bailey had died of Tuberculosis (phthisis) in 1903 at the age of 61 but their mother was still alive and had remarried in 1906.

Joseph was sent to Saskatchewan where life was difficult. He later settled in Montreal where he found his wife Adrienne. He kept in touch with his brother Jim and with his sister Guerty, but never spoke of his youth, nor his mother - prefering to focus on the moment and the joy that his wife had brought him.
