Oh Ann it's you again!!!!!

I did your Woolcott's!

Yes Edwards can be as bad as Smith and Jones and Evans.

Your best bet is to get the marriage cert. one of the people put up on the thread and then you will know who the fathers were and their occupations.

Can anyone help.
I can't get past Wm Edwards he was probably born in Wolverhampton in 1870. He married Charlotte Porter who I believe was 11yrs older than him (1859).
They had 3 children that I know of,John 1893,Wm 1894 and Thomas 1896.
Regards,
Ann
