Mumbles from Planet Dan

This page was first written in late 2000 – I’ve kept it for anyone ending up here hoping to find something about “Wardle” 9/7/09

This is my starting point… Details from the Wardle family tree (click on the links for more names and dates):

• My great grandfather is Albert Wardle (born 15-Jul-1866 in Kegworth / died 24-Jun-1936 in Kettering).
• Albert’s father was James Wardle (born 29-Dec-1839 in Kegworth (maybe Belper?) / died 10-Mar-1914 in Kegworth).
• James’ father was John Wardle (born 18-Jan-1810 in Diseworth / died 18-Dec-1891 in Kegworth).

John’s father was George Wardle – born in Diseworth, he married Sarah.

Uncle Bernard couldn’t remember why and where the dinner in the photo above was held, but thinks it might have been to celebrate the anniversary of the end of the First World War. Using the decor as a guide the dinner was probably held at the Fuller Institute.
