NotesIsaac James Frances Ballin Thomas was born on May 26, 1900 in 41 Grays
Inn Buildings, Rosebery Avenue, Holborn, London EC1R 4PJ, the son of Frank
James Ballin Thomas and Elizabeth. (A. Thomas, personal communication, May
31, 2011). He emigrated to Canada onboard the SS Tunisian, arriving on August 5,
1910. He was employed by John Faulkner. On the 1901 census for England and
Wales (Census Return of England and Wales, 1901, RG13/247, Folio 17, Page 23),
it shows that his father was a collector for Singer Sewing Machines. The census
also tells us that he had a sister called Grace (Elizabeth Grace Ballin Thomas) born
1897.

Isaac?s mother died of consumption in 1903 and the father was reputed to have been
committed to a mental asylum. That necessitated Isaac entering Barnardo?s in 1908. Adam
Thomas told me that Isaac (known as Jimmy) joined the Canadian army in 1916 despite being
under age and lied on his application form. At some point, the Army discovered that he was
under age and he was not permitted to fight in the war. At the time of his application, Isaac
stated he was living at Glin Cross, Ontario and working as a farm hand. He is said to have
married and returned to England in the 1930s.
