Notes for Philip Malan (Spouse 1)
Philip was born in 1921. In 1939, at age 18, he moved to England with his parents
He was educated at Seale-Hayne Agricultural College about 1946 in Newton Abbot,
Devon, England.and our mum to complete his education.
• In May 1946, he emigrated from England to Canada.
• Philip became a Canadian citizen, on 20 April 1964.
• he retired from the Public Service of Canada after 21 years Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 22 August 1986


He then moved to Jamaica for several years.
He immigrated to Canada with the support of his “Uncle Laurie.” (This was Samuel Laurence de Carteret, who was the president of the Canadian International Paper Company, in Montreal.) Uncle Philip first worked as a forester, north of Ottawa, near Maniwaki, and then at the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa. 
With Uncle Philip having settled in Canada, I am sure it was an easy decision for his little sister, Betty, our mum, to join him. They had always been very close and certainly had a love of adventure. We often heard stories of how, when he and mum were teenagers in England, they roamed the countryside on their bicycles, often catching rides with lorries. Our mum never allowed us to do such things!
Losing his sight was a burden for Uncle Philip, even though he never complained. When we visited with him at the Grace Manor, mum and he would often reminisce about their childhoods in India. Uncle Philip had an excellent memory, recalling countless details from his early life.
About himself as a child, he wrote:
“I was a rather introspective, shy little boy, not loveable, rather independent, living in a world of my own. I loved games. I loved the out of doors. I had a tendency to dream at my lessons. I loved my family. Well, I was a boy, with a strong imagination doing all those things that boys find fascinating, while no one else understands the things they do.”
