The Man That Barton Under Needwood Didn't Want

A Memory of Ilford.

this is a strange but true story and I hope that one day I can meet the family of the above man.
Arthur Warrington was born in the village i believe, he went to war in the first world war and also returned after the conflicts were over, he was my wife's father, however we are told to never trace where he came from and I think that this was very unfair on my wife of 52 years, we are both in our 70s and i know that my wife would love to meet some of her real relations even though the Warrington family seem to not want too, ironically we live very close to the village in Awsworth in Nottingham,
I have photos of the village and also i have a photo of a very old woman, we believe that she is Arthurs mum which of course makes the woman my wife's grand mother. I have pictures of the village when it was a beautiful place and probably still is, We have never been to the village and would love to come and see if there is any of the family still able to tell us what the controversy was years ago.
I know that when i started the search I spoke to a councillor of your village hall and he told us that Lewis Warrington had just died I thought it to be too close as anyone might think we were tracing the family for obvious reasons, ironically the name we originally started off tracing was of course Lewis Warrington.
I once spoke to some one who said that he knew of a Ken Warrington, well there is a Ken Warrington here still alive but in his 80s. Ernie, Hilda and Frank Warrington have all passed on there seems to be names very close to each other as well.
My wife's name was Margaret and her sister was Sheila.
I do have very old photo's and if any one would like to get to me on 0115 8494761 or mobile 07943165189
my name is Bryan Maloney and i am an author put my name on Amazon and check.
