NotesJohn was one of 14 children to Mary and George Tuggey a Naval family from Portsmouth.

His Grandfather was Thomas Scott who was the Boatswain on HMS Pique who died off the coast of Syria when a storm hit the ships mast and it broke in two. Christiana, John's Grandmother, complained if Thomas had died in the battle Acre 1840 rather than on the way home she would have had a pension rather than being made destitute.

George was a warrent Officer on HMS Yacht Firequeen and took HMS Victoria to Isle of White amongst other things.

In 1884 George died of TB and this left his wife Mary very poor so she had no alternative than to put her daughter Marie in the Royal Seamans and Marines orphange. A couple of years later Amelia Rose and Thomas went in there, whilst Alice and John the youngest went there after Mary died of TB in 1888.

In 1889 Thomas left and was sent to the Royal Naval College at Greenwhich and John aged six was dismissed because of his behaviour and then on to the Marchmount Homes. In 1891 he was sent on the SS Sarnia to Canada Via Liverpool and on to Halifax and then on to Middleville in Ontario to the farmstead of the McKays a Scottish pioneering family. He was to become one of the family and was made to work the farm. I have no idea how he was really treated other than he was never paid for the work he did on the farm until he was an older teenager as he left Alex to help Ronert Monroe in Halls Mills on the Indian river only he never paid him and so John went back to Alex McKays. It reads in his report he gave his heart to Jesus in 1898 amen.

Then he married Minnie Fummerton from Appleton and had two boys, George and John Marvin. In WW1 he joined the Canadian Forestry Corps and laid down the trenches in Ypres. In later years after being a painter and decorater he was a member of the Canadian Corps of Commissioners. None of his children and Grandchildren new of his homeboy past until I discovered him via Barnardos.
