Abraham Banks Chester in Kirkby Malham

[delgirl]

A B Chester was born in 1901 in Kirkby Malham Yorks and married Edith M Fielden in 1927, in Skipton,  and had Peter 1930 Wharfdale.
He married again and had another son in Warsop Notts, and lost contact with his sons, who were mentioned in the obit. He used to be a dentist, and died in about 1968 when his son was about 3 years old. I know we need a death and a marriage cert at least, but until they come I wondered if anyone knew anything about this family?
Thanks for looking
