Warner McLeish

[unclenorm45]

 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]

.

This may be the family I am seeking
Arthur – b – Midhurst, West Sussex
Annie – b – 1863 Islington, London
Beatrice Annie – b – 1884 Orpington, Bromley
Arthur William – b – 1886

Ernest Frank – b – 1890
Robert Charles – b – 1892
Gertrude  Maud – 1894
Constance May  - b – 1895
Elsie Winnifred – b – 1897

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

on IGI there is an extracted christening ;

William Warner s/o Nicholas Warner and Sarah

There is also refernce to a Nicholas Warner , cordwainer of Midhurst on the national archives.

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
