Katie was the daughter of Alfred Richard Sanderson and his wife Kate Daley of London England. She was the Grandaughter of Richard Daley and his wife Mary Bray. Katie's father Richard died in 1897 in London, England. Katie's parents had been married on July 14, 1895. Katie was their first child and may have been their only child as her father died when she was about 10 months old.

In 1907 Katie was brought to Canada by the Dr. Barnardo's homes in London England. She had been taken in to care by Barnardo's and was a British Home Child. In Canada Katie was taken in by David Wilson Elder and his wife Mary. Katie was treated just like a daughter and very well looked after. She would become a nurse.

Katie and James adopted a child, Dorothy May Read. She was born on Aug 20, 1937. Katie`s first husband was Frederick Browne

Katie was cared for by the Elder family, the grandparents of Jenn Elder who adopted Olive June Cheesman, another homechild brought over in 1924. Olive June alway's knew that her Aunt Katie was a home child but did not know until 2008 (at 86) that she too was.

Katie had a good life with the Elder family and was treated very well.
