William Nathan Margolinsky was born in Filipow, Poland, in 1891. (Various sources give his birthday as either 24th June or 29th June.) He arrived in London in his 15th year, on 26th May 1906, where he joined his older sisters Annie and Dora. He worked as a tailor and changed his name to Margolis. In 1915 he married Sarah Maurice, whose mother Rosalie was also originally from Filipow. They had three children, and lived to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary in 1975.
