I am trying to make contact with the descendants of the above. My late father, Leslie Littlehales, was in the Maritime R.A. and served in Canada from 1943-45 He married in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the newspaper said his ushers were Edgar Croser(I believe this to be "Crozier") from the MRA and Sgt.Major R.Robinson,MRA, was his best man.

2 members list Edgar on their trees on this site. Although they may not be directly related, its worth asking if they have current knowledge of the family.
One of them also lists the child born in 1953 (haven't checked to see if the other children are included) + Bessie Dee

As you probably know NS marrs are only free online up to 1930 - after that, only certificates are available.

If he were best man, he probably was also a witness, and maybe signed with his forename.
