I have added Edith Irene Rickner (my 2nd cousin once removed) born 7 Aug 1917 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.
She was the daughter of William R Rickner (my 1st cousin twice removed) and Christina Cooper. They had one other daughter named Lilian Christina, she was born 1912 in Woolwich, London, England.
William died three months before Edith was born on 5 May 1917 in Vimy Ridge, France during the great war.
Edith Irene later emigrated to the United States and was naturilized on 22 Sep 1952.
My Grandad Bert was born in Greenwich…d o you know anything else about William R Rickner?
This is a different William to Bert’s father William. Your father’s name is Stephen?
All Rickner’s in the UK are related, so I have your line. My grandmother was Florence Ella Rickner and a 1st cousin to Bert.
