NotesThomas William WALTERS b. 1877, and his sister, Mary Elizabeth WALTERS b. 1881, came from Middlemore and were on the same ship. Their brother, David WALTERS, b. 1878, sailed on the Circassian 12 May 1890. All three WALTERS children were sent to New Brunswick.

The mother of these children, Elizabeth JENKINS WALTERS, was widowed in 1884. Her husband died of tuberculosis and the children believed she was ill also. I looked for her death for years but finally found her marriage to Robert SIMONDS/SIMMONS in 1887 just prior to taking the three children to the home. Her first SIMMONS child was born two days after the Lake Ontario sailed with her two WALTERS children. Her two younger WALTERS daughters remained with her in Birmingham. She had seven SIMMONS children for a total of 12 and lived until 1943 dying at age 85. None of this was known to the children.
