NotesA birth registration was found for William Edwin Turtle: Year of Registration: 1887; Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec; District: St George Hanover Square; County: London, Middlesex; Volume: 1a; Page: 413. (Parents: William Turtle and Isabel Hunter, married 1883 in Westminster, London, Middlesex, England; Volume: 1a; Page: 846.)

In 1891, William E. Turtle, 3 years of age, was shown residing at 3 Little Bruton Street, Mayfair, St. George Hanover Square, London, England. Other family members included: Albert J. Turtle, 1; Edith M. Turtle, 5; Isabel Turtle, 39; William Turtle, 43, coachman. (Source: 1891 Census of England; Class: RG12; Piece: 68; Folio 103; Page 64; GSU roll: 6095178.)

In 1897, W. E. Turtle, 9, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 137 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

William "Willy" Turtle was placed in Port Sydney, Stephanson Township, Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. He next went to work with a William Noble in Port Hope about 1900. It appears he was a "good lad" and doing well.

In 1911, William Turtle, 25, molder, was residing, along with his brother, Albert Turtle, 22, at the home of Susannah Curtis, Walton, Port Hope, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as March, 1886, and his immigration year as 1910 (this was actually Albert's immigration year--he arrived at St. John, New Brunswick, Canada, on the Victorian as an adult in March, 1910).

In 1917 he was employed at Gurney Foundry Company, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and living in Landsdowne.

In April 1921, William E. Turtle, 32, married, molder, entered the United States through Port Huron, Michigan. He declared that he resided in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada; that he had no relations in Canada; that his final destination was Oakland, California; that he carried $400 on his person; that he had last been in the US in 1916; that he intended to visit for 2 weeks. He was described as 5 foot 4 inches in height; medium complexion; brown hair; green eyes. He was born in London, England.
