My name is Marion Wright. My grandmother's name was Ann Mulock Wright and my father Professor Charles Mulock Wright. I have in my possession the booklet of the complimentary luncheon given to The Right Honourable Sir William Mulock at the Empire Club of Canada in Toronto, Thursday, February the Thirteenth, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty. He was 86 years old at the time.

My husband's mother's family has some connection to the Mulock's. I wish I had been able to find out more when she was alive although I'm not sure she knew as it may have been before she was born in 1912. I am guessing that perhaps her grandmother Mary Ann (Pye) Holmes may have worked for the Mulock family in Newmarket but how would one find that out unless she was living in the family home and would be part of the census of their home. Perhaps she worked on the farm he had? Again, I am only guessing. I have a picture which I think may be of Sir William at an early adult age. The picture is damaged and the top of his head from the eyes up is covered. The print at the bottom is partly gone but what I can see is ...umb Newmarket O...(presumably Ontario). Any tips or information welcomed.

William played as Captain of the University club in the earliest documented football game at U of T. The game was played in Queen's Park on Nov 9th, 1861 making it the earliest known football game, the birthplace of football.
