At 17, my gr. gr. Uncle William worked at the "Penllargere Mansion" in Swansea, Wales(it was once a grand estate) He worked up to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the servants hall below stairs and usually slept there as well. He earned about $20(by todays standard) a year!! His photo taken in 1907, bottom left, with his son. He made the trip from Liverpool, England to Quebec, Canada aboard "The Sardinian" in 1886. His brothers emigrated the same year.
My gr. grandfather James was a construction Engineer, William retired from The Canadian Postal Service, and Frederick was a painter with his own business.
