Hi, Tom, It looks like we are related then! :) James>Margaret>Charles>Ada>Reg>me My great grandparents came to Thunder Bay - then Port Arthur and Fort William in 1911. Charles' Aunt Mary was a younger sister to my Margaret Popey and your William Popey and she and her family came and homesteaded outside of Thunder Bay in 1901, I believe. J.C. Popey, a canon in the Anglican Church came to Fort William also. He was the son of Charles, brother to Margaret, William and Mary!! Those Popeys were adventurous!! Do you have any old photos of your William Popey or by any stretch, the parents, James and Margaret Popey? I have photos of the ones that I have mentioned to you that I can email.
