William King

William King was born 28 October, 1910, in Oakville, Ontario and died 15 May, 1998 in Burlington, Ontario. He was the son of Frank King and Lillian Austin.

He married Mary Smith and they had a son, William.

(His birth record wrongly indicates that his parents were married April 11, 1910. Archives of Ontario Microfilm: MS929_209; Reg. Nov. 22, 1919)
