Billy Barker was born around 1819 in England.  He came from a working class family.  Him and his father were "waterman."  Their job was working on small wooden boats moving grains, lumber and other supplies around the small canals of England. In 1845 the rail road companies started to take over Barker`s work.  He then took the opportunity to travel to America along with other young Europian men.  At first, he became a gold panner in  California but did not find gold.  Then in British Columbia he dug 52 feet in the ground, everyone thought he was crazy,  but he found 40 Millon dollars in Canadian Money of GOLD!  Later in life he moved to Victoria and died penniless.
