Whilst searching for the background story of this elusive Cleric I came across another Cleric of the same name, having obtained the same Degrees, at the same college but having a birth date of 1925 and a death date of 1950, buried at High Wycombe. Wilfred the elder was recorded on numerous trans-Atlanic crossings as being single. He is recorded as marrying Nancy T. Taylor, at Brighton in 1962 when he was 77 years old. Despite hours of searching through records I find no mention of Nancy (other than the wedding) neither can I find the mother of Wilfred junior. Both Wilfreds were buried at High Wycombe and I have Wilfred Snr's mother, Sarah Maria Float (1862-1944) also being buried there. With a name like that, what are the chances of having two that, not only share the name but certain geographical details as well. Wilfred Senior is in the Family book of records as being the oldest person to marry but something's not quite right ... can anyone help?
