Hello,
This is a long shot, but thought I would double check. I have been researching a Harry Warren (my Great Grandfather) that was a "locomotive fireman" in New York as of 1914. Later coming to Toronto, Canada, marrying my Great Grandmother in 1917 (Henrietta Sheppard, born in Walworth London, coming to Canada with her whole family when she was young). He has conflicting places of birth between his marriage record and his attestation papers for the war. His place of birth that is used most often is Dublin, Ireland. My Great Uncle was able to tell me that he always said he was Irish, but was very secretive about his life and would never allow photographs taken of himself. No one knows anything about his family before marrying my great grandmother and it was always speculated that he was running from something (or someone).
I found your post with a Google Search for his name plus "Stoker" which I recently discovered was the same as a "Fireman" used for that same occupation in the US so thought I would try my luck.
Through my searches I have this information about him. I'm wondering if you have been able to trace him since your post and can confirm that your Harry Warren stayed in the UK.
Harry Warren
B. July 3, 1890 - Dublin, Ireland
Mother : Margaret Bynn (possibly transcribed incorrectly)
Father : George Warren
Brother: Frank
The date of birth could be wrong, his marriage record states he was born in Pennsylvania, but all other records states he was from specifically Dublin (I have confirmed they are the same person through signature and Tattoos). I don't particularly trust the information he has been using.
Thank you!
