Hi, Norm Redpath here from Canada. My maternal grandfather, William Roderick McLeish, (Canadian) was posted to England during the first world war. Although he was married at the time, to my grand mother, he was married again as per the story below. Can anyone shed any light on this family of Warner's. If by chance I'm in the wrong County in England, please redirect me. Thanks, Norm
Aileen Joan born June 2 1917, at 1 Varna Villas, Broomhill, Orpington, daughter of William Roderick McLeish and Elsie Winnifred McLeish formerly Warner
Parents were married 18 May 1917. Elsie was 19 years old, a spinster, with no rank or profession listed. Her father was Arthur Warner, a Coachman (Domestic). Witnesses were Arthur Warner and Alice Warner. [may be brother and sister in law]

Hi Norm
Not sure about this marriage but it looks feasible;
William Warmer = Frances Elizabeth Palmer
mar q 1838
Westminster, St Margaret, Middlesex
their first daughter E was born circa 1838 London.
the best bet for peace of mind would be to order your Arthur's birth cert.

Hi Deb, you have been busy. Quick too. Thanks!
Any idea on how I would go about tracing the family forwards. I believe we have some cousins out there thanks to our grandfather being married twice. (at the same time) There might even be a third time in Detroit Michigan. But that's another story.
Thanks again, Norm
