JOSEPH DAVID FINE

His father (Philip) and mother (Devera) came from Romania. Brother Wolfie was his father's son (he was widowed when he married Devera). They came to Manchester and all the children were born there. Ray born ?, Louis born ?, Joseph born April 1898, Annie born 1899, Ruse born 1901, Solly born

?. 

He went to school in Manchester and left school young to work on the markets buying and selling scarves, lace etc. They lived in a small terraced house. They felt that there were better opportunities in Canada. I think Louis went first - he was more  aggressive and started business there first. When he was 16 he came to Montreal. He started a business with 2 friends making raincoats Louis David (a cousin) and Mr Ordiver.
