NotesWilliam Henry Mundy (Munday) was said to have been born in Alton workhouse, Hampshire, England, in 1876 to a Catherine Knight. He had many siblings but no address, just Catherine and common law husband, William Munday, wandering the country (family stories indicate his mother, Catherine Knight, was believed to be a good person).

His father died early in the 1900's at the age of 81, and was buried at St.Marys Church, Andover.

William was picked up by authorities and sent to Aberdeen House in 1887, admitted to Barnardos in December, 1887, and then sent to Burdett Hall in 1888.

In 1888, William Munday, 11, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 162 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He did not fare well with his placements, according to his Barnardo records.

On November 7, 1898, at Hastings, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Sarah Almond, 18, domestic servant, born in England to William and Sarah Almond; and another home child, William H. Mundy, 21, laborer, born in England to William and Catherine Mundy.

William and Sarah Almond Mundy had at least 5 children: Thora May Mundy, born about 1900, Ontario, Canada (died in childbirth); Muriel Jannette Mundy, born: May 19, 1903, Ontario, Canada; Elizabeth (Sadie) Mundy, born 1910, Alberta, Canada; Allen Richard Mundy, born May 13, 1907, Ontario, Canada; and Albert Mundy, born about 1901 (died 1920 of an enlarged heart).

After having 4 of their five children, William and Sarah went West to homestead in Alberta:

They had another child, Elizabeth, in 1910. It was a hard scrabble, and then William was killed by a runaway team of horses about 1912. Though his life was short, family stories indicate that William and Sarah were very happy.
