I believe the Leonard Riley that married Maud Newsham in 1919 is my great uncle.
I am trying to find information on my mothers uncles that were in WW1. She had always said that she had 5 uncles in WW1, but were told they all died. I am finding out that is not true. For sure, 2 died, but I do believe 3 lived and 2 of the families had children, so my second cousins.
I am trying to locate this side of the family and find out if what she was told, was true.
Leonard Riley was born in 1893, was in WW1, but I believe only wounded as he married Maud Newsham in 1919. They had 2 sons, Leonard, 1920-1990 and Eric 1922-2006.
My mothers father was Reginald Riley, the 3rd son of 9 children born to Elizabeth Mitchell and Richard Riley. I believe Leonard was the 7Th son in the family. My grandfather and family came to Canada in 1911, my mother was born in Canada in 1920.
Any further information, greatly appreciated.
