In 1939 Warmington also acted in some of the earliest made-for-TV films.^[3] In 1934 Warmington married film and stage actress Ms. Victoria Olga Edwine Slade (b. 1891 – d. 1949)^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Warmington’s death

S. J. Warmington was killed at the age of 56 during the Second World War when the German Luftwaffe intentionally bombed residential areas in Great Britain. On the evening of 10 May 1941 Warmington was in bed at his home, Number 39, Elvaston Place,^[10] in Kensington, London, when his neighbourhood was showered with incendiary bombs.^[1]^[3]^[11] Warmington, a volunteer Fire Guard,^[10] went out to help extinguish the resulting fires and was amongst those killed, at Number 22,^[10] when a high-explosive bomb fell.
