NotesA birth registration was found for Dennis E Waterer: Year of Registration: 1914; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; Mother's Maiden Name: Shaw; District: Preston; County: Lancashire; Volume: 8e; Page: 1131. Parents: Joseph Waterer and Gertrude Shaw, married 1901, Fylde, Lancashire, England.

In 1929, Dennis Waterer, 14, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of children from the National Childrens Homes and en route to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Dennis and his brother were separated and put to work on farms that were only a few miles apart.

Dennis had been abused by the farmer he was sent to work for and he once said if he saw him again he?d kill him.

They did not meet again until after World War II when Joe, who had opened Camera Craft in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, in 1946, had a job to photograph a golden wedding anniversary. While driving, fate took a hand, the fellow who drove Joe said he had known of a lad named Waterer and he'd tell him about Joe the next time they met. On July 4th 1948, Dennis walked into the store. They knew each other immediately.

Dennis was known to friends and family in Canada as Bob, and later changed his surname to Adams.
