William Headridge collected materials

William Headridge (1887-1959) was an attendant at Essondale Hospital and became the chief steward in 1940. William was born in Alloa, Scotland and immigrated to Canada in 1913. He started at Essondale Hosptial that year. He married Ida May Healey (1896-1978) in 1915 and they lived in likely Cottage 118 on Essondale grounds. They had three children, May Jean (Billie) Headridge (1916-1962), John Morris (Jack) Headridge (1919-1989) and Gordon McKay Headridge (1920-2000). After William became chief steward, the family moved into Cottage 110.

This file contains Headridge's diary, correspondence, and military, pension and financial records. Notably it includes photographs of the Headridge family and Essondale Hospital, and also contains a photo album labelled "Headridge album 194-?".

C., the Headridges wearing their army uniforms in preparation of the Second World War, as well as many unknown friends and family to the Headridges. A series of photographs depict the children of Billie Headridge, namely Brian Bovet, and likely the unnamed daughter of Gordon Headridge.
