William Evlyn Skinner
Son of James and Eleanor Skinner.
William and his brother James came to Canada as British Home Children. James paid for his mother’s passage to Canada and few months later he paid for his sister Florence to come as well.
William’s attestation papers incorrectly spelt his middle name as “Evylin” and his mother as Mrs. Willis Skinner. His mother did live in Detroit, but William lived and worked in Essex County as a farm worker.
