A point that Donald Cundall (born 1938) has been unable to verify is that his grandfather Oswald Cundall (1885-1969) told Donald that they had to buy his brother Thomas Cundall out of the Army. It is thought that Richard and Thomas left Blackburn for Manitoba in Canada to get Thomas out of the Army or that he was AWOL (Absent WithOut Leave).
Oswald indicated that his brother had been to Africa, where his father Richard (1853-1924) had contemplated settling, and that they had chosen to settle in Canada where the natives were more friendly than the African natives, who did not like Englishmen.
