NotesWilliam was sent by Father Hudson Homes from Birmingham, UK to Canada without his brother and sisters being aware. One of his younger brothers, james, was also sent to Canada 3 years later. Their older brother Jack, my grandfather, tried desperately to get contact addresses or news from Father Hudson Homes about his brothers but this was refused. He had no way to contact them.
