Notes My grandfather, Daniel Clayton (1903-1949) was born in Derby, a city in the East Midlands region of England. It lies upon the River Derwent and is located in the south of the shire county of Derbyshire. The oral tradition that has been passed down is that Daniel and his siblings were placed in an orphanage after their mother died and their father was unable to take care of them himself. It is clear that Daniel was, in fact, in an orphanage in England. It was in Coleshill, near Birmingham, and was called the St. Edward's Home for Boys, also known as the Father Hudson Home. Research is ongoing to try to find out the exact circumstances under which he came to be there.
