Kenneth Gordon Milson died at his home on Dec 17, 1990 - husband of L, and dear brother of Harley.  The other brothers aren't mentioned. Kenneth leaves many nieces and nephews.  He is buried in Pine Hills Cemetery (this is in Scarborough, Ontario)

Hi,

I also found a death for a William Milson on Feb 12 1994.  There is no middle initial and no mention of brothers.  Given that Kenneth's obit of 1990 only mentions Harley, I wonder if this William could be a next generation?  William died in Toronto and the funeral service was in Richmond Hill (just north of Toronto).  Family members are mentioned.  He might fit....  ???

It appears Ruth's first husband didn't die until 1928. his birth shows as 1852 on first marriage (fibbed to sound a bit younger at the marriage to young Ruth I imagine) No divorce shows for them thus the "spinster" stated in second marriage. The couple didn't last too long, though, since she's already calling herself Kingham in 1901  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JKWB-QJT

Hi
Such an old thread but only just found it. Fascinating information, think George Kingham is my great grandfather and believe he was the brother of Ruth and Florence. Looks like he was living with relatives when the sisters were sent to Canada. Is there any information about what had happened to their parents?.

Thanks

Hi Christine, I passed on all the info I had to the person researching the Kingham side of the family.
But will see what I can find out.
