Arthur Edward WARMAN (1872-1918)and Flora BOORMAN (1868-1952)
Arthur Edward Warman and Flora Boorman were my Great Grandparents. (Click here to see their place in my pedigree chart.) They married on Saturday 16 May 1896 at the Register Office in Headington, Oxford. He was a 23 year old bachelor and corn dealer's assistant of 28 Boulter Street, St. Clement, Oxford. Flora gave her age as 26 years. She was a spinster and domestic servant of Cranham, Iffley Road, Oxford. The witnesses to their marriage were C. W. L. Spittall and A. M. Herbert. Arthur Edward Warman was born on Saturday 28 December 1872 in Beenham, Berkshire. He was the second son and third child of John Warman (1832-1887) and Mary Elizabeth Webb (1836-1874). His birth was registered by his mother of 20 January 1873 and at that time his father was a master carpenter and joiner. At the time of the 1881 census he was an 8 year old scholar, living at 78 Castle Street in the St. Mary's district of Reading, Berkshire. When the 1891 census was recorded he was an 18 year old draper's assistant living in the home of Obediah Corke in Wadhurst, Sussex. In 1901 Arthur was a house painter and paper hanger, and the family were then living in Aldrington, Sussex. Shortly before the outbreak of World War 1 he travelled to Canada with the intention that his family would follow later, but it wasn't to be and they remained in Sussex. Arthur enrolled with the 16th Battalion, Manitoba Regiment of the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on 14 February 1916. He gave the following information on his attestation form:
Arthur was killed in action on Monday 2 September 1918 when he was part of a group that successfully recaptured the village of Cagnicourt, near Arras in France. He was buried on 3 September 1918 in the Dominion Cemetery, Hendecourt-les Cagnicourt, Pas-de-Calais, 10 miles south east of Arras. Flora Boorman was born on Saturday 28 March 1868 in Wadhurst, Sussex. She was the eldest daughter and child of Frederick Edward Boorman (1846-1884) and Frances Barham (1836-1917). In 1891 Flora was a school teacher in the Wadhurst school and it is not known why or when she left Sussex and travelled to Oxford. Flora died aged 84 years on Wednesday 17 December 1952 at 131 Trafalgar Road, Portslade-by-Sea, Sussex. She was buried in the Victoria Road Cemetery, Portslade. Her cause of death was abdominal tumour and her death was registered by her son-in-law Walter Patching, who was present at the death. He was also of 131 Trafalgar Road. My dad tells me that Flora had gone to live with her daughter Dolly due to her poor health and that shortly before she died she caught a cold, which my dad had thought was her cause of death. Flora left a will dated 14 October 1948 in which she appointed Lloyds Bank Ltd. as her executors. Probate was granted on 23 January 1953. Her gross estate was valued at £1,094:8:6, the majority of this (£750) coming from the sale of her home, 2 Eastbrook Road, Portslade. Her net estate of £1,058:6:1 was divided equally between her 4 children. When the 1911 census was recorded the couple, together with their 3 youngest children were living at 71 Wellington Road, Portslade-by-Sea. Arthur was then a 38 year old house painter and Flora was 42. It was noted that they had been married for 15 years.
Arthur Edward Warman and Flora Boorman had 4 known children:
As mentioned, the Wood's family lived at 10 Ellen Street and my mother's Tullett Grandparents lived at 14 Ellen Street. Dorothy Grace Warman was born on 17 May 1905 in Portslade, Sussex. She died on 8 December 1993. Dorothy was known as Dolly. At the time of the 1911 census she was 5 years old and living with her parents. Dolly married Walter Patching on 24 June 1931. Walter was born on 17 June 1904 in Portslade and died on 28 June 1990. I believe he was an only child. He was the son of Harry Patching (c1871-?) and Mary Jane West (c1871-?). When the 1911 census was recorded he was 6 years old and living with his parents at 131 Trafalgar Road, Portslade. His father was then a head domestic gardner. Walter and Dolly are buried together in the Downsway cemetery in Southwick, Sussex. They were known to me as Aunty Dolly and Uncle Walter and in the 1970's they lived about 5 minutes walk away from us, in Shoreham-by-Sea. They had 3 children:
