General Chat

I am trying to find out who were my fathers fathers parents. His name was Edwin Standen and married to Phoebe Sedley. Any info would be helpful

Bev, it would really have helped if you told us when & where they were both born as well as where they were married.

As a starting point (& we realise your enquiry was about Edwin) you have Phoebe in your tree as
Phoebe Sedley 1876 Cannock, Staffordshi...

A tree on Ancestry has her as

BIRTH ABT 1876 • Staffordshire, Stafford, England
DEATH 1952 • England

Edwin Standen
1882–1930

They also cite the 1911 census

Perhaps you could give as more details please so that we can confirm your research?

The only Hulme/Standen marriage seems to be

PHOEBE A HULME married one of these people
Edwin Standen

Spouse's last name Standen

If this is relevant, perhaps one of them wasn't free to marry??
Do you have a copy of the MC? Who does Edwin name as his father, and what was Edwin's declared age?

She is named on service record for Edwin. ( ON FMP some pages hard to read but discharged as "not likely to become an efficient soldier". Suffering from "melancholia" ) I note he does not answer the question on attestation form "are you married" one way or the other.

Bev, Sadly it seems the Edwin from Portslade was suffering from depression as per the service record, there are several reports in the newspapers. Will PM if wanted and if this proves to be the right person.

Hi,

I have my grandfathers bith cert and confirms his mother was Mary Ann Lellaway and his father was Frances. I cannot at this time trace backwards and find any records of Frances. Help would be good thanks

Bev that's the wrong cert for the details of the person you have given as grandfather.

Can you please check as the birth cert you have is this one

STANDEN, EDWIN KELLAWAY
GRO Reference: 1857 D Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 658

That is way before the Edwin George on this thread, as you can see from the dates. And that cert is NOT the man who married Phoebe, the ages are all wrong.

Thread headed Mary Ann Kellaway involving the Standens - last added to14 May -
