Find Ancestors

Hi there
I am trying to find any info on Richard George Crichton Edwards he was born in India on 31/1/1917 and then moved to UK. I was wondering if he was on a ships list. Can anyone help as I dont have much more info on him??

Kind Regards


Jon

There is this one. Boarded at Bombay and travelling with wife or mother Evelyn C age 60. He is a printer

Richard G Edwards
Birth Date: abt 1917
Age: 33
Port of Departure: Sydney, Australia
Arrival Date: 2 Mar 1950
Port of Arrival: London, England
Ports of Voyage: Sydney, Melbourne, Colombo, Bombay, Aden and Port Said
Ship Name: Chitral
Search Ship Database: View the 'Chitral' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Shipping Line: Peninsula and Orient Steam Navigation Company Ltd
Official Number: 148861

Cant see him on any incoming lists for ancestry but then its a common name - Edwards that is, obviously unlikely to have all the christian names shown.

I take it your tree is on ancestry with his birth, marriage and death details?

Marriage
Richard George Crichton Edwards & Cissie Ruth Horrell
Date
3 Apr 1954
Location
Catford

Did you get the marriage cert for his fathers name and occupation?

Well, someone got the wrong year - if its not your tree - here they are a year later:

Name: Richard G C Edwards
Spouse Surname: Horrell
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1955
Registration district: Lewisham
Registration county (inferred): Kent
Volume Number: 5d
Page Number: 80
Find Spouse: Find Spouse

Hi Astra,

Thanks very much for that- That would tie in actually because he got married in 1954- the only other info I have on him is thta he had a BROTHER called Evelyn, not a mother, could you poss check nd see if says that Evelyn is a man or woman??

Kind Regards

Jon.

Hi Heather

No I haven't got the marriage certificate yet.
Thanks for the idea though.

Jon.

She is noted as Houswife by trade so i would say that she is definitely female.
The address given is 30 Clarence Street Edinburgh

Oh I see. hmm thanks for that. I wonder if it is also his Mothers name, a bit strange.

Jon.

Do you know what his mother's maiden name was or his father's name

Hi Jon, they actually married 1955: This is the cert ref you need to buy the certificate for the fathers name and occupation - £7 from GRO online

Name: Richard G C Edwards
Spouse Surname: Horrell
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1955
Registration district: Lewisham
Registration county (inferred): Kent
Volume Number: 5d
Page Number: 80

No, unfortunately I don't!

Jon

Buy the marriage cert - right date and ref given above

Thanks very much Heather, my Mum must have got that date wrong!

Jon.

In that case before you can go any further I think you definitely need the marriage certificate which Heather posted earlier. That way you will have his father's name.

Will do, thanks Astra.

This is the ONLY place you should buy from online:

Tick the box that asks if you have the GRO ref. You have, its as I put above. Then the cert will cost you £7.
