The memorial to William George Wilson is here and gives Mabel's residence. The certificate can be downloaded: https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/41756/w-g-wilson/

They married in Q2 1917 and Edna was born in August, so she must have been on the way, which happened again.

I found this article, which didn't make sense at first:-

Chester Chronicle 14 September 1940
 "The wedding took place at St. Boniface’s Church, on Tuesday, the Vicar (the Rev. D. 1. W. Phillips) performing the ceremony, of Miss Edna May Wilson, daughter of the late Mr. W. Wilson, and of Mrs. S. Warburton, and Mr. R T. Mathews, youngest son of Mr. R. T. Mathews.
 The bride was given away by Mr Warburton...
...the Misses Freda and Nora Warburton (sisters)...
...the Misses Joan, Nesta and Brenda Warburton..."

Then I found that Stanley Warburton married Mabel Wilson in Q2 1921.

Cheshire BMD has Stanley twice, once to Mabel Wilson and once to Mabel Woolley, which means that the name of her father was different from her married name.

They had at least five Children:

WILSON, FREDA mmn WOOLLEY (as Tredda in 21 Cen)
GRO Reference: 1920 S Quarter in CHESTER Volume 08A Page 741
Married Frederick G Walmsley Q2 1942 Crewe district

WARBURTON, NORA mmn WOOLLEY
GRO Reference: 1922 D Quarter in CHESTER Volume 08A Page 507
Married Herbert Wakeley Q4 1943 Crewe district

WARBURTON, JOAN mmn WOOLLEY
GRO Reference: 1926 D Quarter in NANTWICH Volume 08A Page 497
Married Gordon C Jones Q3 1948 Crewe district

Nesta Warburton
Birth quarter 1 1935 mmn Woolley Chester District
Probably married Thomas E A Ledward Q2 1958 Crewe district

Brenda Warburton
Birth quarter 3 1936 mmn Woolley Chester District
Probably married Charles R Clarke Q3 1956 Crewe district

Mabel must have a lot of descendants. I think she died in Q3 1970 in Northwich district and Stanley in Q1 1983 in Congleton and Crewe district.

Thanks for this information - definitely ties the family together, particularly the reference to Edna's wedding. I had not found that detail. The only person I have not been able to trace was John Christopher Woolley's cousin Eileen. I presume that she was the daughter of one of the other aunts he mentioned (Elsie or Mary) but, without knowing their married names, I have not managed to find out if one of them had a daughter Eileen.
