Reginald George Grainger was born in 1896 and married Margaret Shields 1919. Margaret died in 1948. When Reginald died in 1960 his widow was Edith. I have looked for a marriage but cannot find one. Can anyone help? They were Birmingham people.
Thanks

Who says his widow was Edith? Did she register the death?

Hi Kathleen
That's great I couldn't find anything. I know that Reginald's first wife, Margaret died in 1948 but I have been given a remembrance card and it said his widow was Edith, which puzzled me greatly as he died in 1960!
Thank you very much for this info.
