Trying to track down my grandfather but, other than his name, and DOB all that is know about him is that he died before 1918 and he was a stockbroker. Anybody know if there are any stockbroker specific records ? |

Many thanks for coming back to me and here is where it gets ultra complicated......first of all I meant great-grandfather (oops). He was called Edward James and was a stockbroker (no idea where). His son was also Edward James and he was a labourer in and around Bristol and I can track him from 1918 until he dies in 1936 in the bristol workhouse. |

Thanks for the input so far. Son of Edwards marriage 1 is unknown but he is a widower when he marries No2 - Ethel Brown on 4/10/1918 - witness is her mother plus another who is unrelated. Marriage No.3 is to Mary Lilian Wall on 29/08/1931 - witnesses are unknown to me - V.Little and F. Hunt. Both marriages in Bristol. We don't know where Edward junior was born which is the real problem, and he lied about his age so could have been born in 1870, 1872 or 1875 but I don't know where. He was in bristol from 1918 until he died. I can't find any stock broker type people in the census in Bristol area. Is it also odd that his father was a stockbroker but that he ended up in the workhouse? It is of course possible that Edward junior lied when he said his father was a stockbroker but he has said the same thing twice with a 13 year gap in between. |
