It simply refers to a William Edser married a ? Preston In Wands worth in the June Qua 1921.
If you do have his marriage cert you would know his fathers name ,it would help to trace his family back further.
What was his fathers name ?

I have his marraige certificate which i have acanned and will attach to him in my tree but both William and Maud's father were deceased. However Maud did not know her father and Henry Preston on her marragie cert either did not exist or it was her mothers brother. Harriet Preston her mother was a spinster all her life. William's father is William but i can find no record that matches with his occupation.

I have just been reading all you have on him on your Ancestry Tree.

A lot of what I have been searching for you ...you already have in your tree.

Please Gwenda you must put all the info you have when asking for help as it would have saved me hours of looking.
