My Father's Side

Richard Warner born around 1792 was a chairmaker in the St Pancras Area.

William Warner born abt 1826 at St Andrews, Holborn, and married Harriet Weatherspoon (b. 1831 also from St Andrew's Holborn) in 1848 in St Pancras Parish Church. He was a French Polisher. William died in 1862 and Harriet in 1863 leaving their children destitute. 

Richard Warner - born about 1853 in St Pancras London, son of William and Harriet. When his mother died in 1863,  Richard (aged 10) and Edward (6), Maria(4), George(3) entered the poor house, at the charge of St Martin in the Field. 

 They were sent to Hanwell School, which was a large school for poor children part of the Central London School District. Interesting to note that 32 years later Charlie Chaplin and his brother attended the school, as his mother was in the poor house. Richard (and his siblings) left the Hanwell School and the poor House in 1868, and that is the end of his time in London. Next thing is in 1871 he pops up in Boston, Lincolnshire, getting married to Lucy Fleming, a local girl, in Boston Register Office, and living in Boston. He was there working as a horticultural labourer in 1881, and 1901, and died there in 1917

George Warner - was born in 1880 in Lincolnshire, married Elizabeth Anne Dixey, a Dressmaker, and later moved to Stockton-on-Tees, where my father, G.F.Warner was born.
