The birth year does not match what I have for him. 
Another relative told me a couple of years ago that he may have been a Barnardo boy.
More research is sure required to confirm that the additional information I have received tonight is in fact my grandfather. 
Thank you for your prompt response to my inquiry.  It is greatly appreciated.

Family History Beginners Board / Bert Charles Thresher
« on: Wednesday 23 September 15 04:34 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information on my grandfather Bert Charles Thresher.  I believe he was born on May 17, 1890 in England.  He arrived in the United States of America in 1906 according to the census.  He then came to Canada in 1914 and settled in the province of Saskatchewan.
I have no other information.  If anyone can help me locate his family and help me find out why he left England, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

I have just found some hand written papers showing George Biggs of Strokenchurch, Bucks, England was a cousin to Edwin William Cripps.  George was a poet, partly to fill in time as a POW during World War I.  He had a small volume published.  He was a proprietor of a chair making establishment at High Wycombe, the area Windsor and other famed furniture was made.  During WW II the government took it over, and among other things manufactured ski's for the Russians.  George had no sons to carry on the business.
George Biggs was a cousin to my husband's great grandfather Edwin William Cripps who was born April 3, 1867 at Harefield, Middlesex, England.
Any information on how George Biggs and Edwin William Cripps are related would be appreciated.
Thanks.
