Wow, thank you John.

I have only just read your post.

There is a puzzle in itself. I had assumed that David and Annie had parted. I wasn't aware that she had died.

Sarah was his second wife as per a death notice for a son George who died in 1944.

I shall have to report back to my cousin with this interesting news.

Thank you.

Kindest regards
Amanda

Hi

David married Annie in Bradford and they moved to New Zealand where she died in 1916 and David then married Sarah in 1917 (information kindly supplied by other generous contributors)

Kindest regards

There is more information on George Child at Cenotaph site

including photos of parents David and Annie's headstone. 

Also another plaque that is hard to read - I think one name is Elizabeth.

Hope this helps
