Lewis was born to William and Ada Anger in 1896 at Cove, Farnborough, Hants, UK. His mother died shortly afterwards, and he went to live with his maternal uncle, John Emmett, his wife, Alice, and their daughter, Alice Emily. In 1913 they all emigrated to Canada, arriving in Quebec on October 20th. Lewis fought with the Canadian Forces during WW1, but was discharged after being injured. He became a jeweller, and apparently was killed in a road accident around 1930. Any information would be gratefully received.
