Thank you very much as I now see Edwin Arthur was a ships steward and I appreciate the help re the marriage to Lilly Shelton and can confirm that the address in Oxford is her visiting her own family. I am delighted to see Edwin had at least one sisiter so I will try censuses now I have an address for the family. I know from 1911 census they were staying in Steyning and hope to visit there this summer. Thanks for thew great help you gave me. Dorothy

You are very welcome Dorothy,

I wish you well with your search.
