Warwickshire / Arthur Short Warwick 1940s
« on: Monday 30 January 17 15:05 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for any information on a man named Arthur Short.
Here's what I know about him:
-married Kitty Taylor (b.1898, d.1931) in the September quarter of 1925
-had a son, John Reuben Short, born 27 Dec 1925 in Warwick
- had a daughter, Mary Short, born June 1928 in Warwick
- had one more daughter born in 1930
Kitty Taylor died in 1931 of a perforated bladder. Arthur Short could not look after his 3 children so he sent his youngest to live with Maggie Dunn nee Taylor (sister of Kitty Taylor and my great-grandmother). Eventually he sent his two older children to live with other sisters of Kitty. Mary went to live with Edith Ethel Toombs nee Taylor. John went to live with Lizzie "Mollie" "Betty" Taylor (married name possibly Welch).
When the youngest daughter was about 9, Arthur Short came around again and wanted to get her back. Maggie won the custody battle.
Arthur Short lived on the corner of Theatre Street and Linen Street in Warwick. He lived with or was married to a Violet Simpson. It's unknown if they were married or just living together.
Any information on this man would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
