William Warner in Huntingdon Sept 1917

[ABrute]

Trying to detect my Grandfather who is marked on my Mothers Birth Cerificate as a William Warner - Farmer.

Unfortunately unmarried to my Grandmother so he must have been in the Huntingdon area in 1916. Anyone any ideas?

Hi,

Was that your mother's birth year?  Just to get a rough idea of William's age, have you looked on the 1901 census for him?

My Mother waas born June 16th 1917, I am looking at the conception period as he may have been a farm labourer or seasonal worker.

Thanks for the reply Barbara.

Many thanks for the lookup Wozzle. Does it mean he was 43 in 1901 that would make him 60 at conception. Is his wife Eliza Warner aged 20 in 1901 or is it his eldest daughter?

I believe my grandmother worked in Hinchinbrook Castle as a maid and a Head Gardener could be linked maybe the son William D Warner aged 7 in 1901 and 22 in 1916 could be the person.

Thanks again

[wozzle]

it is his son william.d. warner age 7 in 1901 that i was listing as a possible

[ABrute]

Yes Thanks Wozzle.

Trying not to discount any possibilities at the moment. I think thi is the best lead I have ever had.

Thanks Abrute

What was your grandmother's maiden name - she may have been in the same area in 1901?

I'd rather keep my Grandmothers name confidential due to persons still alive, however I can tell you that the family line on my Grandmothers side I have been able to trace to the 1600's in the Huntingdon area.

My Father side who is a Brown frrom Sunderland I have traced to the mid 1700's. With all this Family History my Mothers Father is an enigma.

I was hoping to find some documetary evidence nearer to 1916 that would put Mr William Warner in the direct area. The lead from Wozzle certainly is the best lead so far.

Many thanks for your considerations..
