    Notes 
    • As a young man in Britain, Ted (as he was known) worked as a clerk in Bristol. At some point, he also worked for the Great Western Railway.

      At the urging of his brother Fred - who had already immigrated to Canada in 1907, Ted and his wife Maud, also decided to leave Bristol and emigrate to Canada. Around 1913, Ted and Maud left England bound for Canada. Upon arrival in Canada, they settled in Kenora, Ontario where Ted found employment with the Canadian Pacific Railroad as a locomotive fireman.

      Shortly afer the outbreak of WW1, on March 29, 1915, Ted enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and returned to England from Thunder Bay with the 52nd Army Regiment. Ted fought in the battle of Vimy Ridge in France during April 1917. Later, at Passchendaele (Ypres) in Belgium, Ted suffered a wound to his arm. He had reached the rank of Sargeant.

      Around 1918, Ted returned to Canada but due to his war injury he had to seek employment other than with the railroad. He became the Warden at the Kenora Jail. [1]

    KNIGHT [COX], Maud. Letter sent to her uncle, Herbert John Knight.
    This letter, written on 24 FEB 1907, was sent to Maud's Uncle Herbert. In it, Maud refers to... "her sweetheart" who is... "on an engine learning to be an engine driver". This is probably a reference to her future husband, Edwin Cox, who was employed by the GWR (Great Western Railway).
