JACK KING

John King was born on 16 January 1866 in Wellington County, Ontario to Andrew King (1836-1910) and Jane Freeborn (1832-1911). His siblings were: Francis James (1860-1904), Robert (b 1863), Richard (b 1868) and Barbara J (1870-1949). In 1881 he was living with his family in Maryborough, Wellington, Ontario.

John married Josephine Bellaine Marshall on 9 September 1896 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Josephine was born on 12 August 1872 in Nova Scotia to Joseph Barron Marshall (1839-1899) and Susanna Elizabeth Oland (1843-1918). Her siblings were: Esther Oland (1866-1866), John Joseph (1867-1932), Mary Elizabeth (1868-1949), Susannah Carmicle (1870-1929), Naomi Temple (1872-1955), Laura Foote (1874-1876), Stanley Strongbow (b 1875), Eva Moyle (1877-1893), Agnes Zipporah (1879-1946), Victoria Amanda (1880-1943), Jackson Winterbourne (1882-1943), Huldah Harriet (1884-1960), Yorke Roe (1886-1947) and Charles Evas (1888-1916). In 1881 the Marshall family was living in Salmon River, Nova Scotia.

In 1891 Josephine was working as a domestic servant for a family in Scarborough, Ontario. After their marriage, John and Josephine remained in Winnipeg until at least 1911. By 1915 they were living in the Ross Block in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and John was working as a baggage man for the CPR. They remained in Saskatoon until 1920. Although John's profession remained the same they lived at Apartment 617 Drinkle Block No 3, 116 3rd Ave South in 1918 and at 309 Ave F in 1920. According to his death registration, John and Josephine moved to British Columbia in 1922 and were living in Colwood, British Columbia when Josephine died in a Victoria hospital on 6 June 1944. John was living in Prince Rupert, British Columbia on 13 November 1955 when he died. The informant on his death record was Elizabeth May Wolstenholme, daughter who was also living in Prince Rupert. There were never children listed for Josephine and John in any of the census records and Josephine was already 44 at the time of the 1916 record. Unless their child was adopted, she must have been born close to 1916. The King family could not be found in the 1921 census.

The John King in this tree was the only candidate in Saskatoon in 1918 that could be found for the Jack King signature. Although he was living very close to the church in 1918 when the quilt was being made, there is some doubt that he was the signer because no record could be found where he used the nickname Jack.
