Notes

Birth of Garry Boxall, mother's maiden name Ayres, in FreeBMD in April-June 1946 in Surrey SW (2a 1063), probably Wrecclesham.

He is believed to have married and have children.

The following is extracted from the Pier 21 Museum:

Betty and Bill were married in 1944, and, when the war ended, decided to return to Canada as soon as possible, together with her son Don, plus Wendy and Gary, born in 1944 and 1946. They planned to go to Vancouver, where Bill’s mother, sister and many friends still lived. Bill returned to Canada in December 1946 aboard a Canadian navy vessel, while Betty and the three children boarded the Queen Elizabeth in Southampton, bound for New York, arriving on Dec. 12th. This voyage of the Queen Elizabeth was one of the first after the ship had been converted back to its passenger status, from its wartime troopship duties. Betty and family traveled by train from New York to Toronto, where they met Bill, who had landed earlier in Halifax, and together they carried on to Vancouver by train. For a short time the family lived in Vancouver with relatives, then moved to Chilliwack briefly, before buying their own home in Burnaby, where they lived for about ten years.
