Update - A love letter from overseas
Sometimes it’s as if the world contrives to know the end of a story. A chance encounter on Ancestry today revealed what happened to William, whose story is told in the last blog written on the 14th February. Until the 20th February, Ancestry are allowing free access to their Canadian Vital Records, which is perfect for people like me wanting to know the end to a certain love story….
On the 21st June 1916 William got married. The marriage took place in Hastings, Ontario around 60km down the road from Bethany where he wrote his lovesick letter. So what was the name of his spouse on the marriage certificate?
So our young romantic did not end up with his childhood sweetheart. He did however marry an English girl who we hope made him very happy!
Case closed.
