Hi, I just happened upon this by fluke and it relates directly to me.  I have in the somewhat distant past tried to find similar information and a relative, whom I don't know but whose documents I have traced this tree back to the 1600's.  I'd be happy to share what I know.

Wow, this adds a bit to what I have known.  In the past there was an illegit birth and the fathers name was Robinson but the mother's name Waller was kept - I don't think/didn't know that my grandfather John Waller had a middle name or as a previous link seemed to say it was Robinson, but it could be.  Because of the the tree information we named our only son Kerry Robinson Waller.  He now resides in London England and has this challenge that he needs proof that his grandfather John Henry Waller was born in England (citizenship) but we don't have a document to show any change of name since he was born to my Grandmother Annie Johnson and he is documented as Johnson (War record shows Waller).  We do have the birth certificate showing Johnson and addresses that would suggest all this because it seems Annie worked for John (next door) whose wife had died earlier.

There is this birth at Guisborough registered in 1912 -

Annie E W Johnson
Registration Date 1912 Oct-Nov-Dec Guisborough, Yorkshire North Riding.
Mother Johnson
Volume 9d Page 927


On a Canadian Passenger List - page no 10 - line 12 and 13 -    Liverpool to Quebec - Annie Johnson born 1883 and aged 30 years travelling on the Empress of Britain - arriving 25 October 1913
Also travelling Annie Johnson aged 11 months - going to Stratchcona. (both detained)

Some where within the passenger list - begin or end - there may be the reason why they were detained but I haven't come across that.

Annie Johnson would appear to be Annie E Waller.

Thanks again. Families tended to be concerned about illegitimacy and sometimes that resulted in facts being hidden and I think that has applied in our family (perhaps also with my mother and her first child Shirley).  In this case, Annie Johnson was involved with John Waller and had my father John Henry and his sister Annie Elisabeth W Johnson (I assume the W was for Waller) in England.  This is my aunty Betty who lived next door to us and was a Burnard.  Maybe detained because of birth certificate, common law husband in Strathcona, type issues, since Annie had not yet married John.

The Martin clan that came into the picture had contacted me regarding this very confusion - William, who was on the ship coming out with John (3 years) who is mentioned as the youngest (age 1)below my father, I now know was the illegitimate son of John's oldest daughter Mary and he was William Waller (I don't know the father) and when Mary married Jack Martin they officially or unofficially called him William (Bill) Martin.  This of course caused problems with the Martins tree and I was able to clarify that for them.

So thanks again!
