Thank you for that insight, MWS. Appreciate it and I will pass on that information to my friend in due course along with anything else that may be forthcoming twixt now and then. :)

Hello again. Just thought people would be interested in a reply I received from the GRO on 21st January with regard to my trying to decypher Edward's profession on his marriage certificate to Dilys and this is what they told me - 'Private Royal Warwickshire Regiment (architect and designer)’...

Hello again all. Having today received a long letter from my friend, it's time to write again in the hope people can, once again, shed some light on things. My friend also asks me to thank you all for the invaluable information that I very much doubt I'd have found on my own but that aside, I'll...

Hi Mike (and other lovely people who have helped too!), I've not been on for a while ... been having some almighty problems with my PC after a failed attempt to upgrade to Win10 from Win7 but all's well again now so could I ask if you have the full page for that please as I'd like to see if...

Pedrocut, I don't want to re-quote all of that fascinating/interesting stuff you kindly posted above just to say thank you so hope my appreciation and this thank you here will satisfy. :)

So pleased to hear that 2nd time round is good for you, Rosie. My mother's second one was awful and believe it or not, she ended having to pay the man to leave the house as he refused to leave or give her a divorce yet he came to the marriage with very little financially. I guess that's why rich...

Yes very interesting. I've not come across it before either. Obviously I've heard of annulled in some cases where the marriage wasn't consumated but not disolved. How you'd find out the ins and outs, I've no idea either but as the saying goes, the plot thickens! lol

Hi Janice Well I told you to keep watching this space and as I know you and possibly others may be interested, I have now received Edward's second marriage certificate and have just finished scanning it in and as you can see, it's listed as "previous marriage dissolved", which presumably is...

Hi. There are a few William H Griffiths on A****try. Do you have any other information on him such as spouse, siblings or sons/daughters? I want to try to ensure we get the right one that's all. Maybe you have some other dates or places? I'm assuming the fact he joined the Royal Warwickshire...

I noticed you'd not yet had any replies so thought I'd have a look (Forces War Records) and whilst I couldn't find any more information on William Henry than you already have, I found this for Robert. Whether it helps or not I'm not sure but maybe it will? First Name: R Surname: Vinnicombe...

I agree, Janice, very interesting. I will try to find out when I next speak to my friend and I also agree about divorce records ... I don't think so either. Keep watching this space as they say. :)

Yes Lyn. Edward's second marriage was 20th June 1965 in Blackpool to Frances May Whipp. I also have his first marriage as 11/12/44 to Dilys May, as per the marriage certificate.

I'd noticed that too. I was also puzzled by the notation 2/3/45 M ZNA? I didn't know they had divorced but the dates would certainly tend to suggest that. Certainly neither of them had died when Edward married again in 1965. I'll ask my friend when I speak to him on Friday.

Thank you kindly. Not sure where I got the other date/place from on my FTM but having seen the headstone, you're right it has to be the same DM Davies so I've amended it accordingly.

Yes Lyn ... she died between April and June (2nd quarter) of 1981 in Camarthen, Wales.

Thank you Mike. I wonder if that's 'our' Edward, possibly having returned from service maybe? I think we'll only know that if/when his army records are released. I had intended to apply for them but having looked much deeper into that, it appears they only do postal applications and you can only...

Thanks a million Astoness. Appreciate that.

I hadn't notice before that it said he joined in 1937 (March) but that's good. You're right he can't, therefore, be one of those blanked on the 1939. As for the electoral rolls, I don't think we've found him yet on those although the newspaper clippings do show he was still on active duty from...

Hi Janice. Yes I'm going to apply for his army records, although we're fully expecting them to be released anyway sometime next year but it's 'only' a £30 admin fee to pay so I've decided to go for it. :) Your logic seems pretty sound and alongside my own thoughts/opinions as well, especially as...

Hi Lyn. Yes, Janice is correct - Edward was married twice as you rightly said but Edward's father, who we call Richard Alfred Poyser Jnr on account of *his* father *also* being called Richard Alfred Poyser, was the one who married Ellen Wildgoose. :) They married 8th May 1915. Thanks to this...
