Charles Wesley Arbuckle


I remember when I was researching Charles David Arbuckle & Margaret 'Alice' McDonald - I stumbled with Charles Wesley.  The problem was who was his mother because Charles Sr had married twice.   His 2nd wife was Lydia Mason and she is listed as the mother on a few documents but it isn't possible given that Charles Sr didn't marry her until 1906 - that's when I discovered the 2nd marriage and Junior's mother despite what the records indicated.
