One of my distant relatives married Warren Hastings, Actor, on June 2, 1947 in Herne Bay, Kent. Warren was 66, a bachelor, and Dorothy Sybil Elizabeth Pollard was 59, a spinster. I have their marriage certificate, and do have some information on their parents, etc.
I was wondering if there is any other site on line I can find out more about Warren. I was able to find him on IMDb and he has credits for three movies made between 1926 and 1931. His birth date on there does not quite agree with the one on the death index, which gives his bd as 27 Aug 1880, and fits with the age on his marriage. I found him in the 1911 census as well, living with his widowed mother and two sisters in Chelsea. His parents were William Walter Hastings and Emily Eliza Wigg. He is not listed as an actor at that time.
Warren died in Sittingbourne district, Kent in 1975, Sep Q.
One problem is that there is a much more famous Warren Hastings in history and he swamps Google!
