      Sidney James Penny appears on this census record with his mother's maiden name (Tugwell) whilst at his uncle's house but uses Penney after emigration to Canada. His cousins at this address, William, Bert and Frank also emigrated to Canada. Likely that Sidney emigrated at the same time as his brother George.

      Letter from Sidney to his brother in England written just before Christmas during the WWII.
      Edna married and left home. Boys at home with just 3 of them old enough to join up.
      Eyesight failing so letter short - Nell (wife) might have to help with the writing. [5]
