Family lore, according to J. Ackroyd has it that his desire was to be a gentleman farmer but his wife would not live in the country. He bought a paper mill in Birmingham which went bankrupt. He and his son (my grandfather) Ross came especially to Victoria in 1907 to start a better life, although it is not known why Victoria was chosen. They travelled in steerage and later sent for the rest of the family. Although his last child was born in 1897 and he did not emigrate until 1907 he is not to be found in the 1904 Birmingham Directory.
At the time of his son's (Ross Anthony) birth he was a Master Miller living at 282 Hagley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham
