The Milne family was a Scottish family that settled in Ontario following the initial emigration of Peter Milne to New York in 1797. His brothers David, William and Alexander as well as their mother Helen joined him in New York. Alexander emigrated to Canada in 1817 and started a woolen mill and saw mill in Markham. Alexander and Peter Milne became partners in the operation of the mills in Markham ca. 1824. In 1827, Peter married and the brothers dissolved their partnership. Alexander moved to North York and established a mill at Don Mills and Lawrence (the site of Edwards' Gardens). He acquired the property along Lawrence from this site over to what is now Woodbine, where he moved his milling operations in 1832. Alexander operated it with his son William into the 1860s.
After Alexander's death, William Milne continued to operate the mill with his son Alexander W. Milne. In 1878, a new mill was erected after bad floods had damaged the previous one. After William Milne's death in 1880, Alexander W. Milne took over the operation of the mills. Either he or his son, Charles S. Milne, closed the mills in the early 1900s.
Charles S. Milne (b. 1877) married Edna Shepard Johnson in 1909. Edna (b. 1880) was the daughter of Abram S. Johnson and Saida A. Shepard, of North York.

William John Miller (1889-1960) was a Toronto architect active from 1908 until some time after WWII. Son of the prominent architect George Martell Miller (1854-1933), William John Miller trained under his father and was a registered member of the Ontario Association of Architects from 1935 onwards. William assisted his father's firm with several notable commercial and residential projects in and around the city of Toronto, and would eventually take over his father's firm. Architectural plans for buildings completed by the Millers are held in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library's Miller collection (Manuscript Collection 194).
William Miller married Ruby Adelaide Scott (died 1973). The couple lived for several years at 105 Rochester Avenue in Toronto and had a daughter, Joanne Martell Miller. The family frequented a summer cottage on Lake Simcoe, known as "Martell Villa." In 1949, Joanne married Robert Butt Dunlop, a Toronto area dentist, to become Joanne Martell Miller Dunlop (also known as Mrs. R.B. Dunlop). She died August 5, 1980.

The Klement family was a wealthy Jewish family in pre-World War II Prague. They owned a large fashion house and two clothing stores, and lived in an elegant apartment in the city. Soon after Tomi was born, his parents Egon and Hedvika (Heda) purchased a house outside the city, with a large garden and staff. Within two years, Tomi was diagnosed with a nerve disease known as Sydenham’s chorea (commonly known as St.Vitus Dance), and his fragile health made him even more precious to his family. Beginning at age two, his grandmother created albums for him. In July 1943, the Klement family was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp and fourteen months later they were shipped to Auschwitz where Anna, Heda and Tomiwere gassed. Egon was taken to a labour camp at Gleiwitz, survived a death march and returned to Prague. He eventually settled in Toronto with his new wife, Františka and her son Miro.

Family includes William Lash Miller (former professor of chemistry at University of Toronto), Mrs F.L. Miller, W. Nicholas Miller, and others.

The fellowship of Saint Alban and Saint Sergius (FSASS) was founded in 1928 in St. Albans, England following a Student Christian Movement “Anglo-Russian Student Conference”. It followed earlier contact with the Orthodox Church in England, largely of western converts and, by the 1920s, refugees from the Russian Revolution.

The FSASS is dedicated to contact between Eastern and Western Christians, especially Anglicans and Orthodox. It focuses on study and personal contact, with yearly conferences in the UK, and on sharing Eucharistic services. It publishes and distributes a journal, Sobornost.

The Canadian chapter began in 1955 but applications were not sorted out until the following year, when it was officially set up at Trinity College. Beyond Toronto, the FSASS was mainly active in Ontario, with some involvement by the rest of Canada. It seems to have suffered from organizational and administrative difficulties in the early 60s and again in the early 70s, and is currently defunct. It ceased to meet at some time in the mid-1980s, with record-keeping ending before that point.

The beginnings of Welch House at Trinity College can be traced back to the 1940s, when the eastern edifice of the Hoskin Avenue campus was erected in 1941 amidst significant delays due to the Second World War. However, the modern form of Welch College was not realised until 1986, when, under the oversight of then-newly appointed Provost Robert H. Painter, Trinity College residences underwent a significant overhaul. As part of this restructuring, Welch was firmly defined as a social house by the college administration.

Since then, Welch has been a centre for undergraduate student activity and social life, playing host to a wide array of events and parties throughout the school year. In addition, Welch annually publishes and sells a calendar, the proceeds of which go to supporting local charities. Over the years many Welch House residents have become student Heads as well as executives in levied clubs and the Trinity College Meeting.

One notable aspect of Welch is that it is an all-male residence, a legacy of the historical segregation of male and female students at Trinity College. This fact, along with the fact that Welch is a noticeably small house, has allowed its inhabitants to enjoy a strong camaraderie and highly social atmosphere that distinguishes Welch from other houses. These strong ties are exhibited in the mock student administration that has existed in Welch since 1988. The “University of Welch at the University of Trinity College at the University of Toronto” (formerly known as “Welch College”) is the centrepiece of the highly satirical, often farcical nature of student interaction within Welch, with a de jure Dean of Welch, who tends to be a third-year undergraduate, providing humour and satire. These are often exhibited through inter-urinary memorandums (IUMs), notices and messages which are posted by the Dean of Welch above the urinals of the house’s washrooms, that have been a Welch tradition since 1992.

Although the Male Head of College and Arts is the primary student authority within Welch, sharing responsibility on an annually rotating basis, the mock administration exercises control over social life in the house, and is responsible for the planning of student events.
