Notes
- According to [11], at the time of his marriage, Bill was living at 28 Salem Ave, Toronto, the same address as the witnesses to his marriage: John Peter Webber and Harriet Jane Dawe. This is confirmed in the 1911 census for Harriet Dawe. How John Peter Webber is related to James Weber, the head of the household in 1911, is presently unclear.
