Warner - a travelling name?
« on: Tuesday 09 October 07 17:51 UTC (UK) »
My grandfather remains a complete mystery. I have his marriage certificate - William James Warner age 40 father William James Warner , occupation horse dealer. He married in 1913 near Swansea South Wales , his wife and 2 children died young, leaving son William James and my mother Sophia Edith. As soon as they reached 14 he found them jobs and lodgings and disappeared though I believe my mother saw him once more. He had a strange way of speaking apparently - " come ane eat thy vittles" when calling them for a meal. He was illiterate. From the one single photo I saw of him he looked much older than his given age. My mother never met any of his family. I have often wondered whether he was a gypsy. Thanks.
