  • Notes 
    • The 1930 Census shows a Percy W. Carrington living in West View, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his wife Mabel, born 1889, and two children--Richard, born 1927, and Phyllis J., born 1928. That this is Mabel F. Edgar and her husband is highly likely, but needs to be confirmed.

      According to his brother-in-law Robert's obituary, Mr. Carrington and his wife lived in Greencastle, Pennsylvania in 1962.

This source will not be repeated. According to this site, Percy was previously married to Winnifred Claudia Taun, with whom he had one child--Richard.
