I think it was user error as images are coming up now  ;D
Still the search option/facility appears to have gone backwards though and appears more difficult to navigate! ha ha!

Hi All,

The website for this yesterday seemed to have some IT issues or similar and then today its working but showing a new layout.

The search facility looks a lot more unfriendly than before and it seems to bring up photos but then when you click on the pic it gives you loads of garble...

Have they joined Stockport image archive now in making you pay to see the images does anyone know?  :'(

Hi Milliepede
Charlotte his wife died in 1962 with her death registered in the Ashton area of Lancashire.
The one vision I have of any of the children's marriage certificates was eldest son Joseph Elijah Banner in 1950 - this record confirms his father as Arthur Leslie Banner and that he worked as a Corporation Labourer - no comment stating he was deceased
I've also seen your private message - that is not the right Arthur - there was an Arthur Banner born in 1884 and the Emily it refers to as his wife he was with prior to 1921 with records on the 1939 Register matching with this other Arthur Banner unfortunately

Warwickshire / Arthur Leslie Banner - what happened after 1920
« on: Tuesday 05 September 23 14:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,
Pretty stumped on this one and need assistance please.
I have an Arthur Leslie Banner born late in 1883 in Wednesbury, Staffordshire.
He served in WW1 and had a chequered career whilst in the Army and there are a number of Army records relating to service between 1914 and 1920 at which point he was discharged from the army, comments in some of his army records do make reference to medical issues around mental health (possibly a clue to where he ended up???).
He married on 14th August 1920 to Charlotte Ash with the marriage certificate confirming he has been widowed previously and worked as a Rubber Worker and listed as aged 35 (should be 36) and that he was living at 115 Holte Road, Aston.
The birth certificate of his and Charlotte's first child Joseph Elijah Banner who was born on 20th January 1921 states they were living at 19 back 188 Mount Street, Aston and that Arthur was now listed as a Corporation Worker.
Records suggest that they had another 2 children Clifford in 1924 and Charles in 1927 in the Hadfield area of Glossop, Derbyshire.
The 1939 National Register has all 3 children and Charlotte living at 20 Bank Bottom, Hadfield, Glossop, Derbyshire with Charlotte listed as married.
However I am unable to locate Arthur in 1939 or even him, Charlotte and Joseph (who would have been a few months old) anywhere on the 1921 census which is even more baffling!  Also I am unable to find any death record of Arthur.
It's really strange how he has just gone off the map and why the family are not on the 1921 census - any help would be appreciated on this one - thanks

Ok all
Certificate has arrived but I'm still stumped!  ???

Walter Sefton was aged 21 on his marriage record at West Derby Registry Office so still matches up that he was born in 1892 - marriage date was 3rd December 1913

he is working as a Ships Steward it states and was living at 9 Gwladys Street, Walton at the time of the marriage (sadly where the Pickering's were living in 1911 - his wife Annie Pickering's family)

His father is listed as Joseph Sefton - he was working as a Soldier - no mention of it stating deceased.

Also no witnesses's were Sefton's they were both Pickering's.

Again any advice most welcome on this one!  ???

Hi ALAMO2008

I'm looking into this for a work colleague - Walter was there Great Grandfather so naturally too far back for them to know which is why they'd asked me.

The other Walter Thomas died in the 1960's - our Walter died in 1956 and Isabella in 1960 - that's 100% correct - also no known siblings I'm afraid!

Cheers

We are just going to have to wait for the marriage certificate to arrive its appearing

Its ok I've found it on Ancestry  :)

However he is listed as an Architect - I dont see him somehow going from that job to being a Packer and a Warehouse Porter somehow  :'(

Yes absolutely ALAMO2008
I found a few W Sefton listed on Findmypast on the "Results for Australia, Inward, Outward & Coastal Passenger Lists 1826-1972"
He was listed as a passenger as opposed to one of the crew - interestingly they do stop after 1912 giving some credence to your suggestions  :)
What site have you found him on this 1910 residence in East Freemantle please?
Thanks
