  General Notes:

Dear Martyn,

In answer to your question: How we came to Massachusetts USA. BTW,
great spelling for Massachusetts.

My father George LATHAM SALISBURAY was born on October 8, 1907 at 2 Alfred
Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham, Warwickshire to Emily LATHAM and Tom
SALISBURY. He was one of three children. When I send you the genealogy
on the LATHAM SALISBURYS I shall explain more. SALISBURY is one of my brick
walls.

Just before my father's mother Emily died, my father and his siblings were
sent to the Middlemore Home. The date was September 21, 1914 and in 1915
Dad was sent to Cape Breton, Canada to work on a farm.

His two sisters remained in Middlemore until relatives took them in. This
is what is found in the Middlemore papers.

I also have the ships log etc. for my father . He went to Canada as George
LATHAM SALISBURY.

Dad arrived in Cape Breton and worked on a farm with a wonderful person
named Gordon MacDonald . Gordon was also an orphan and he lived with his
aunt and uncle.

On July 9, 1935 he married my mother in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.

My brother William Gordon LATHAM born on December 24, 1936 in Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia, Canada died October 7, 1937 in Children's Hospital, Halifax ,
Nova Scotia.

Carole (Candy) THOUTSIS nee LATHAM ...this is me...:0) born June 11, 1939
in Truro.

Gail L. SMITH nee LATHAM was born May 5, 1944 in Truro.

In 1944 my father packed us all up and came to Massachusetts USA where my
mother had relatives.

We have all lived her since. My father died in 1981 and my mother in 1986.

My sister married and has two children, a boy and a girl. Her boy is
married and he has two children.

Tim and I married but never had children. We do have a 15 year old
Yorkshire Terrier named Chelsea who is the sweetest little dog in the world.

I hope this is not more than you wanted to know. <VBG>

I shall send what I have of the LATHAM side a generation at a time if you
would like. Then I shall tell you all about my SALISBURY line.....

BTW....a side note: After tracing my mother's side back just a few
generations we find her side originally came from Devon England.

Talk with you soon,
Cousin
