hi rosemary his name was david astill or astell Edwards, born 07/01/1874 in easenhall warwick, i assume thats where he met his first wife, as i used to visit one of his sons william in leicester when i was a child, i know he was in the forces from 1891 till at least 1901, he met my grandmother i suspect in london working at the hudson bay company, she gave birth to my mother in 1922 and they married i think in 1926, i have asked teresa on the vr to see if she can find a marriage to i think mary his first wife, but i don,t hold out much hope really i just do not seem to be able find his first marriage nor their divorce,very elusive regards marcie x
