Notes*NOTE* William's surname is misspelled "Ackerley" on the ship's manifest.

William Ackerley arrived with 117 children from the Catholic Protection Society of Liverpool en route to Knowlton, Quebec, Canada. Mrs. Lacy in charge. Males 13 and over listed as "labourer"; females 13 and older listed as "domestic"; those 12 and under listed as "child".

On August 12, 1914, William Richard Ackley enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he was born in Longdon, Staffordshire, England; that his birthdate was November 28, 1882; that he was married; that he was a labourer; and that his next of kin was his wife, Mary Ackley, who resided at 35 Elm Street, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He further declared that he had been a member of the armed forces before, serving in the 5th C.F.A. for 9 years.

(Sidenote: Between 1871 and 1900, there is listed only one Richard Ackley, or any variant of the surname thereof, in Staffordshire. Richard Ackley, born c. 1841, in Longton, Staffordshire, England, was a housepainter married in 1861 Martha Elizabeth Colclough, born in America c. 1845. They had numerous children. Richard Ackley died in 1892 in Staffordshire, and Martha Elizabeth remarried either a Mr. Jones or a Mr. Carter in 1901. There is no definite documentation that this is the correct Ackley family, and does seem somewhat odd that the children wouldn't know their mother's name, however, this information is presented as a research possibility.)
