History
CHIN Ng Jai was born in China in Koo Lung village in the [台山 Toisan / Taishan] district of 廣東 Guangdong province on June 14, 1898.
He arrived in Canada in 1918 and worked as a laundryman in Toronto.
He had a family in China from which he remained separated due to the Chinese Immigration Act. As a result, Chin Ing Jai married a Jewish woman named Rose in Toronto. Together, they had three sons and one daughter.
Chin eventually lost all his laundries and restaurants to gambling debts. After he passed away, Rose married another Chinese man, Lew Doo (also known as Frank Lew).
