Looking for Edward WARNER

[Haphazard]

I've been trying to track down a great grandfather of mine, Edward (Arthur?) Warner, former of suffolk/norfolk. He married my great grandma (Olive Annie Warner, nee Hovells) in 1904 in Great Yarmouth, but shows up on no 1911 census  (whilst she is shown as married, aged 27, in service in London).

Any ideas, because he appears to have just disappeared from the earth. 

[suffolk*sue]

Do you mean hes not on the 1911 census?

Were any children born to them after 1911?

I cant find him on the 1911 census yet she is still class as married (rather than widdowed). My Grandma (Joyce) was born to them in 1915, so that kind of implies he is still around, but how come he slipped the census....

As far as I know, he was a fisherman (his dad was a "smack owner") so would that have enabled him to slip past the census?

[suffolk*sue]

Do you have an approx birth year and place. Could he have been in army/navy in first world war?

As far as I know, he was born in 1885 in Mutford to Arthur Albert and Mary Ann (nee Bowen), marrying my great grandma olive annie hovells in 1904 in Grt Yarmouth. She remarried Charles William Warner of Goxhill, in 1920, so my theory is that perhaps he died in WWI (I'd like to know if he did!) but that does not explain his absence in 1911 does it?

On her second marriage does it say if shes a widow or not, if you haven't got the cert I would advise getting it to see what her status was.

I have ancestry... record showing she married again, going from "warner" (the name of her first marriage) to Robinson (the name of her new marriage) but nothing more. Will the marriage cert set me back many pennies?

I am afraid sometimes you have to spend buy certs to make sure you have correct information. If the cert says she was widowed then it would narrow down the time span for you to look for a possible death for Edward, assuming he did die and his wife wasn't telling lies.

You can order certs here

Cost is £9.25 each.

The fun of family history.
