Notes - John Angus, or "Jack" as he was known, worked in the lumber industry like his father before him. Jack was born in England and came to Canada in the early 1900s probably for better employment prospects. Jack worked as a yard foreman at the Lawson Lumber Yard on Gage Avenue in what is now downtown Hamilton. Jack and his father, Tom, built a house for Tom and Judith at 39 Gage Avenue South right next door to Lawson Lumber. After Judith's death, Jack and Jessie moved into the house with Tom in order to take care of him. When Tom died, Jack and Jessie inherited the house, which caused a permanent rift between Jack and his siblings.
In 1901, at age 2, John Angus was residing in Skerton, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and two siblings.
In 1911, at age 12, John Angus was residing at 77 Broadway, Skerton, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and two siblings. He was was a student at Park School while also working as a butcher's errand boy.
Sometime between 1911-1915, John Angus and his parents and siblings immigrated to Canada.
In 1915, the Angus family were residing at 132 Birch Ave. in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, when John's brother Thomas enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
In 1921, at age 22, John was residing at 35 (or 25) Gage Avenue in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a labourer. This may be the house that he and his father built together although the address doesn't match his daughter, Jackie's recollection.
John Angus claimed that the Angus family were originally from Scotland and that "the Scots ran us out of Scotland".
Jack and Jessie's marriage was witnessed by Jessie's sister, Elizabeth Duncan, and Jack's brother, Thomas Angus.
