Hi,

Benjamin Edwards 1858 - Sarah Edwards 1855 (2nd marriage) - I would guess circa 1885

Flory Edwards born 1886 Birmingham
Elsie Edwards born 19th May 1892 Birmingham (Christened 3rd June 1891 All Saints - guess Hockley)

I’m hoping, a long shot, either of above children would have married and be living in Wheeler Street, Lozells around the 294 number. Hence by knowing married surname I might be able to trace.

Thanks

Hi Suzanne,

Thank you, I read you have had far better success with IGI than I have - I must be doing something wrong.

I’ve used IGI to try to trace second marriage of Sarah to Benjamin Edwards, circa 1885 - did they marry?

Also used IGI t to try to trace marriage of Flory and Elsie -could be neither of them got married but?
