General Notes: Herbert James was the eldest son of Thomas and Florence Addison. He grew up in the Danforth area of Toronto. As a youngster his family lived at 60 Ferrier St. When his father died he was only seven. The family was poor and he left school to work as soon as he was old enough. As a youngster he delivered laundry that his mother did at home. He worked on a Laker for a year or so and then got a job at the Eatons Department Store where he met May Paxton.

For a while Herb & May lived with Aunt Annie (really May's mother) until Herb Jr arrived. Herb and May then rented a flat on Humberview Ave., from a Mrs. Philips. Pat was born there-not in the house, but at the Grace Hospital. Shortly after the family moved to Long Branch to be closer to Goodyear Auto tire factory on the Lakeshore and Annie got her job as a housekeeper at Tarry Hall in Bath, Ont. They moved downtown to Ferrier Ave with Herb's mother Florence for a year but that didn't work out and they moved back to Long Branch, likely to Marina Ave. They then moved to Elder Avenue where they lived while the kids grew up in the 1940s and 50s. Herb worked at the Goodyear for over 40 years, retiring in about 1970. In the 1950s the family moved to Alderwood where they lived at 13 Westhead Road.

In the 1940s the family began going up to Orr Lake where they rented a cottage on the south shore of the lake. Later on in the 1950s they moved to the north side and built a cottage on a lot behind Charlie Wicks. In 1962 Herb and May bought a cottage a few doors down where they remained for many years. After Herb retired he and May started holidaying down in Florida over the winters. Eventually in the late 1960's they sold the house on Westhead and moved to Elmvale so they would be close to Orr Lake.

General Notes: Hilda was born at 60 Ferrier two weeks after her father Thomas Powley died. She has lived in the Danforth area of Toronto all her life. After her father Thomas Powley died her mother Florence took in boarders to make ends meet. When Hilda was 16 she had a relationship and married one of the boarders, Vernon Fenn. Vernon was a motor mechanic who worked in garages and service stations around the east end of the city. Hilda remembers they moved a lot in the early years as Vernon kept one step ahead of his creditors and seldom paid the rent on the flats they lived in. Her first son Teddy was born in 1932. He was followed by Walter (Buster) in 1934. Unfortunately Teddy died in 1936 when he fell off a balcony at the back of the flat they lived in on Walker Avenue. Vernon Fenn's creditors eventually caught up to him and he went to jail for fraud. Daughter Shirley was born in 1938. Things didn't work out with Vernon Fenn and they divorced in 1945.

Hilda later entered a relationship with a man named Thomas Prendergast and had a son Gerald by him. Pendergast was not a very good husband and shortly after Gerry was born Hilda told him to leave and not come back. In 1963 Hilda met a nice man named Fred Festorazi. She and Fred moved to 124 Lamb Ave and got married in 1964. She still lives there today.

Fred died of cancer in about 1980. Fred had a son Fred who also died of cancer in Jun 2001 at the age of 59. Her daugher Shirley married and had three children Cheryl, Joe and Tom with her first husband and later a son Ross with her second husband Murray Todd. Gerry married Rita and Walter (Buster) married Sally.

Hilda has many recollections of the family's first years in Toronto and provided much of the information on Thomas Powley Addison which she learned from her mother Florence. She remembers a visit of some relatives on the Addison side from Manitoulin Island when she was young and possibly living at 60 Ferrier with her mother. In the late 1940s Hilda remembers a visit from her mother's sisters Margaret, Janie and Margaret's daughter Sue (Esposito) She was living at 141 Harrison St near Dovercourt and Dundas at the time. She also recalls she last saw Margaret at Aunt Janie's funeral in the 1960s. She remembers her Grandfather Herbert Pillinger at her brother Ken's wedding, likely in the 1930s, drinking all the wine on the table before the toasts were finished. She also remembers visiting her brother Ken and his wife Gladys when they were living on Adelaide St, probably in the late 1950s. It was a bit of a run down apartment and soon after older brother Herb and Ken decided to build Ken and Glad a house out in Lakeview

As a youngster Herb loved sports and played lacrosse, hockey and golf. In 1945-46 he attended the University of Toronto and studied actuarial science. He used to visit his Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Ida Paxton while he was in the city for classes. The travel back and forth on the street car made for long days though and after one year he decided to join the RCN.
