Hello, I have additional information regarding how this family progressed, considering I am a direct descendant. The original post mentions in 1901 George Wager and his wife Beatrice lived with their 2 month old
son Leslie. Well, George and Beatrice were my great-grandparents.
The reason why you won't find much info on how the family progressed is because they moved to Montreal, Canada. I can fill in some of the rest of the story.
George Thomas Wager and his wife Beatrice Fanny (I have some unsubstantiated info that her maiden name was Latham) had 4, possibly 5 children. But first let me give their life spans. (Dates may be off a year or so because it is based on old records, you know how that can be.) George Thomas was born 1876. He died in 1943 and is buried in Mt. Royal Cemetery in Montreal. His wife preceeded him in death. Beatrice Fanny Wager was born in 1879 and died in Montreal on February 7, 1934. She is also buried in Mt. Royal Cemetery in Montreal. I have seen her headstone.
As I said, they had 4, possibly 5 children:
George Leslie: Went by his middle name Leslie. Born 1901 in Aston, died 1972 in Montreal. Unknown if he had descendants.
We are not sure if Frank Wilfred Wager was their son. There is reference to a Frank Wilfred Wager being born in 1902 by Bren above and there is a Frank Wilfred Wager (Died 1906) who is buried at Mt. Royal in Montreal. Seems too coincidental to not be their son. I am currently investigating if he was indeed the son of George and Beatrice.
Stanley Wager: Born 1908 Montreal died 1951 Montreal, buried in same plot as his parents at Mt. Royal Cemetery. Stanley has some descendants in the Winnipeg Canada area but I have never been in contact with them.
Beatrice aka Beatty: George and Beatrice's daughter unknown birth year and unknown death date. I believe she lived primarily in Ontario Canada and we believe she died maybe late 1980s or early 90s. I do not know if she had descendants.
Walter Eric Wager: (My grandfather) Born 1920 in Montreal Died 1984 while residing in Texas.
According to my grandfather's telling to my uncle, George Thomas Wager was estranged from his father because of the decision to move to Canada. George's father was supposedly wealthy as the owner of several taverns there in Birmingham. Sometime circa 1929 or 1930 my grandfather and his family travelled from Montreal back to Birmingham in an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile with George Thomas's father. He was apparently disowned and none of them ever saw their Birmingham relatives after that.
Anyway to complete the progression, Walter Eric Wager had 3 sons, all born in Canada. My father was his eldest son. When all 3 sons were school aged Walter and his wife moved
to Michigan in the United States and all became American citizens. Many years later I was born in Michigan and when I was 2 my father with his wife moved to Texas. That is where I have lived all my life since 2 years of age. My grandfather and his wife had moved down to Texas a couple years before his death to be near their son and grandchildren which explains how we got to Texas. So that is how this branch progressed, from Birmingham to Texas. As I said, Walter had two other sons besides me father. One lives in Ontario, Canada with his wife and son, and the other lives in California.
