Message Board Post:
My grandfather William Cobham lived with a Goodfellow family who were farmers in Bolton Ontario. He arrived in Canada in 1911 (age 8yrs) with Mrs. Lilian Waterhouse who he was told was his sister but was really his mother. She and her husband Frank Waterhouse worked as restaurant managers for the railways. Why he was left with the Goodfellow family is a mystery that he never spoke of. William eventually married Ada Green and they had one son, my father James Alan Cobham 1935-2012. Any information regarding this would be so greatly appreciated so I can piece events together and find out more about William's young life.
