Narrative
Going on the fact that Walter James Grayer attended Walter Treneman and Lilian Rose Fairminer's wedding, I take it that Walter Treneman Aunt, Loveday Grayer nee Treneman was also there.
1940 Lilian Rose Treneman nee Fairminer went to stay with Walter James and Loveday Grayer nee Treneman [Walter Treneman's Aunt]
Station Master at GWR Axminster Station
Known as Bob and Doll
The Treneman Family visited Bob [Widowed] around 1954, at their house not the station? and Bob showed us the "Live Steam" railway engine he was building in his shed at the bottom of the garden, this was one of several he had built.
The type that rides on raised tracks in parks and give people rides.
This he did, with his Wife/partner? waving the start / stop flags.
No 2nd marriage found for Walter James ?
from Les Treneman
