Hi Roy

Just checked it has  definitely been sent and not been returned  PM me your address again
I don't think Charles and Margaret had a family on probate record for Charles the Wight family are mentioned I'm assuming a connection to Alexander Wight and Isabella Riddell ?

I think this is a possibility might be worth checking on SP 1911 census Charles Thomas Fare ? and a Margaret Fare in Largs Ayr

On Valuation Records Charles Thomas Ware 1905/1915 House Burnside Largs Ayr

Morning Rosie

Alexander Wight (jnr) nephew to Margaret Ware was the eldest of six children born to Alexander Wight (Snr), schoolmaster, and Isabella Connelly. On the 1901 census, the family were residing at Macmerry schoolhouse where Alexander (snr) age 42 was the schoolmaster, Isabella his wife age 33 born Kilarrow, Argyle, with Alexander (6), Isabella C (4), Peter C (3) Maggie W (1) and Mary S age 2 months.  Alexander (Snr) died in 1907. In 1911, Isabella Wight (Connelly), widow, 43, at Gladsmuir schoolhouse, occupation given as Inspector of Poor, parish council. Her birthplace Bowmore, Argyle.  With children named below with added details known at this time. 

Alexander Wight Jnr born 1894, age 16, occupation Joiners apprentice.   Would like to know more about him, where he was living at the time of Charles Ware’s probate etc

Peter Connelly Wight 1897-1982. Served in WW1 - Sgt Wight 9348 Tank Corps awarded MM. Married Anna Pfaff date and place unknown.  They had two sons, Donald Alexander Wight b. 1930 Brentford and William John Wight b. 1934 Brentford.

Hi John

Thanks for the details, much appreciated

[softly softly]

Peter Connelly Wight 1897-1982. Served in WW1 - Sgt Wight 9348 Tank Corps awarded MM. Married Anna Pfaff date and place unknown. 

London electoral registers would indicate that IF they did marry in was between 1929-30. Living alone as Wight and Pfaff in 1929, together 1930.
