    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ 12-7-2004: per Pally nee Wilkes Black:

    Arthur "Bo" Wilkes from Toronto Ontario, was attending a house warming party in London Ontario with a friend, Charlie Jolie, whose female guest was Esther Lizmore. Bo, took Esther by the hand to the dance floor, and by the end of the evening was singing "Oh You Beautiful Doll" to her, causing her to leave with Arthur "Bo" Wilkes. The rest is history.

    NOTE 2./ Immigration Research

    Arthur "Bo" Wilkes, age 16, arrived with his sister, Elsie, age 6, in the care of their Uncle, Frederick Wilkes, age 48, on the SS Sagamore in Boston Massachusets. The SS Sagamore sailed from Liverpool, England on September 27, 1906, and arrived in Boston on October7, 1906. Fredericks occupation was listed as a Foreman/Cattleman, while Elsie listed as a child, is overwritten with Asst. Stewardess. "Bo" was listed a Steward, and seems to be overwritten as a Locksmith. Both "Bo" and Elsies last residence is given as Birmingham, UK, and final destination as Toronto, Canada on this original manifest. The childrens passage was paid for by Frederick Wilkes and were going to live with him at #40, Bolton Avenue, Toronto, Canada.

    NOTE 4./ The Year Was 1902
    The year was 1902 and America was on the brink of war with Germany over a crisis in Venezuela. Venezuela had defaulted on loans from Britain and Germany and in 1902 the two countries set up a blockade of Venezuelan ports. Fearing that Germany was going to use the conflict as an excuse to obtain Venezuelan real estate, American president, Theodore Roosevelt, dispatched Admiral George Dewey and much of the American naval force to the Caribbean on "maneuvers." Invoking the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt made it clear through diplomatic channels that Germany should submit to arbitration negotiated by the U.S. or face military action. Germany agreed to arbitration with less than twenty-four hours left before the deadline; the blockade ended in February of 1903.

    In Africa, the Second Boer War came to an end with the Treaty at Vereeniging. The Boers gave up their independence in exchange for a general amnesty, protection of the Dutch language, economic considerations, and eventual self-government.

    As the winter of 1902 approached, the United States was worried about having enough fuel. Most homes were heated by coal around the turn of the century, and a coal miners' strike in Pennsylvania had been going on since May. By October the situation was critical. President Roosevelt took the unprecedented step of inviting the United Mine Workers union and mine operators to the White House to negotiate a deal. The miners wanted a raise, shorter hours, and a recognized union. The initial meeting failed to end the strike and Roosevelt had to threaten to send in military forces to operate the mines. Everyone would lose if that happened, and the threat pushed both sides to compromise. The workers got a 10 percent raise and shorter hours, but the union was still not recognized.

    An avid hunter, Roosevelt went hunting in November of 1902 in Mississippi. Since he wasn't having any luck, one of his hosts tied a bear to a tree for him to shoot. Not willing to shoot the tethered creature, he told his benefactors to "Spare the bear." Later a popular cartoon depicted the event and an enterprising couple in Brooklyn, New York, created a soft bear toy--Teddy's Bear. The stuffed bear was a huge hit and teddy bears continue to delight children all over the world.

    NOTE 3./
    1891 census shows a nephew, Albert Wilkes , age 23, single, occupation of Tailor, born in Birmingham Warwickshire, England. This is from the actual census image. Albert because of his age, would have to be the child of a brother of the unknown father of Frederick, John and James Wilkes. In fact, the following Polly Wilkes from the 1881 census, could possibly be a sister to Albert.
    1881 census has brothers John and James living with Frederick Wilkes and his wife Jane. There is a niece in this family unit as well, Polly WILKES Niece Female 11 Birmingham, Warwick, England Scholar.
    For whatever reason, there seems to be a lack of adults for this generation. The postulation would be A./ a family catasrophe, or B./ kids filtered to Birmingham from the nethers, for work opportunities. However..... Youngest brother of John Wilkes, James, gives birthplace in 1881 census as Birmingham.

    NOTE 5./ Historical Perspective: The Year Was 1873

    The year was 1873 and much of the world was entering into a long period of economic depression. The beginning of the Long Depression is typically marked by the crash of the Vienna stock market, which sent ripples across Europe and eventually the United States with the fall of Jay Cooke & Company. The Cooke investment bank was heavily invested in the overbuilt railroad system which was beginning to fail. With the fall of this prominent company, a financial panic ensued and the New York Stock Exchange had to close for ten days. Railroads, factories, banks, and businesses had to close their doors resulting in skyrocketing unemployment rates. The Long Depression would last into the 1890s.

    There were other smaller scale disasters in 1873. The British SS Atlantic out of Liverpool (with a stop at Queenstown) hit a submerged rock en route to New York and was wrecked in heavy seas off Nova Scotia. It is estimated that 545 of the 952 passengers perished.

    In Baltimore, Maryland, a fire began in the factory of Joseph Thomas and Sons and spread over ten acres of the city. Photos of the fire and aftermath can be found online at the Maryland Historical Society.

    A cholera epidemic swept through Birmingham, Alabama. Below is an interesting excerpt from a report from Mortimer H. Jordan, who was secretary of the Jefferson County Medical Society of Birmingham, Alabama, at the time of the epidemic (found on the website of the Reynolds Historical Library at the University of Alabama at Birmingham).

    The treatment adopted was the opium and mercurial. When the stomach seemed so inactive that nothing made any impression upon it, an emetic of mustard, salt, ginger, and pepper, suspended in hot water, in many cases produced a warm glow over the surface of the body in a few moments. . . . Diuretics produced no good results. No condition in life, sex, or age escaped. The sucking babe and those of extreme age suffered alike from its ravages.

    Before closing this paper, justice demands that we should briefly allude to the heroic and self sacrificing conduct, during this epidemic, of that unfortunate class who are known as 'women of the town.' These poor creatures, though outcasts from society, anathematized by the church, despised by women and maltreated by men, when the pestilence swept over the city, came forth from their homes to nurse the sick and close the eyes of the dead. It was passing strange that they would receive no pay, expected no thanks; they only went where their presence was needed, and never remained longer than they could do good. While we abhor the degradation of these unfortunates, their magnanimous behavior during these fearful days has drawn forth our sympathy and gratitude.

    Further north and west, Jesse James and the James- Younger gang robbed a Rock Island train near Adair, Iowa. This first train robbery netted the gang more than $2,300, but was most likely a disappointment for the gang. They were expecting a $100,000 gold shipment, but that shipment had been switched to another train at the last moment.

    North of the border in Canada, the Dominion Parliament had more lawful goals in mind when it established the North-West Mounted Police, the predecessor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Canada was growing and in 1873 Prince Edward Island joined the federation as Canada's smallest province.

    In music, the song Home on the Range was born (Daniel Kelly & Brewster M. Higley). The tune went on to become the state song of Kansas and is known around the world.

    John married Anna Maria SANDERS in Mar 1883 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. Anna (daughter of William SANDERS and Jane LAYTON) was born on 10 Feb 1861 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England; died after 1901 in Edgbaston, Birmingham, Warwick, England?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    NOTE 4./ Historical Reference: 1816

    The summer of 1816 begins with what historians refer to as the "year without a summer" The era known as the "Little Ice Age occurred between 1300 and 1850 AD. A volcano 1000 times the size od Mount St Helena in modern times, erupted in 1815 causing much of the rest of the world to experience what is referred to as the year without a summer. Ice was on the rivers in July in Europe and America. The colder weather impacted agriculture, health, economics, social strife, emigration, and even art and literature. Increased glaciation and storms also had a devastating affect on those that lived near glaciers and the sea. It was not until about 1850 that the full effect of this volcanic explosion and the little Ice age came to an end.
