Joe, Was George Walmsley one of yours then? I have a 2C3R Catherine Cantwell (daughter of James Cantwell and Bridget Ellen Benson) who married a George Walmsley in 1918 at Hamilton. I believe he died in 1919 and that she later married Lancelot Beckingham in 1927 at Hamilton. I haven't confirmed this other than via the BDM website and have yet to research them in detail, but after reading your email I wondered if there was a link?
