In 1901, Ernest W. G. Herbert, 3 years of age, was shown residing at 15 West Road, Reigate, Surrey, England. Other family members included: Arthur A. Herbert, 5; Charlotte F. Herbert, 26; Frank L.

Barnardos reported that the children's father was a blackguard, "drunkard and destitute" and had deserted the children. His wife Charlotte Fanny (Chappell) Herbert was left to take care of the children and was not able to and the children were on the verge of starvation. It also stated that there were two children who were left in England, the oldest boy (Percy) and a baby daughter (who was later adopted out).

In 1908, Ernest Herbert, 11 (along with brothers, Arthur Herbert, 13, and Frank Herbert, 8), arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 81 Macpherson boys and girls accompanied by Mr. Merry and en route to Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

He declared that he was born in Aldershot, England; that his next of kin was his mother, Mrs. Fanny Herbert, who resided c/o Mrs. Brown, Clipshear, Sevenoaks, Kent, England; that his date of birth was April 10, 1897; that he was a laborer; that he was not married; and that he had previously served in the CSC of London for 3 months. He was described as 5 foot 5-1/4 inches in height; fair complexion; grey eyes; brown hair. He was a member of the Wesleyan faith. He had scars on both right and left knees.

On August 25, 1920, at London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Ernest Wallace George Herbert, 22, operator, born in (?) England to Bousher Herbert and Frances Chapelle; and Laura Elizabeth Steels, 20, born in London, Ontario, Canada, to Anthony Steels and Elizabeth Jane Hodgson.
