Good morning intrepid reporters! I can't believe the work you've all done to find what looks like the scarlet pimpernel. I've just logged in and am trying to take it all in. It looks intriguing. Can't wait to tell my mam. She'll be excited! Thanks loads.

Burnley Edwin Holmes W. Derby 8b 485

It is not Derby, but West Derby, which is a part of Liverpool and a ship-building city.

Was looking at that one,Viv,but Edmund is with Laura in 1881. Could just be duplication,though.
There are 2 births for a Edmund Henry Brown about the right time frame-a year apart.

I was searching here and there for this and that and neglected to refresh as things had seemed to have hit the doldrums when I was first reading ...


We all know there's nothing I love more than a shapeshifting great-grandpa!

Edmund's first marriage, for info:

Marriages Dec 1897
Brown Walter Frederick Sunderland 10a 1038
> Burnley Edmund Henry Sunderland 10a 1038
Paterson Ann Sunderland 10a 1038
Smith Hannah Sunderland 10a 1038

Do we know to whom?

I looked because in 1911 his wife is aged 20, and there is a 6-yr-old kid.

Second marriage:

Marriages Jun 1909
BURNLEY Edmund Henry Newcastle T. 10b 142
CARR Margaret Necastle T 10b 142


Whoops! Events overtook me as I pondered. Will have to go back and have a read ...

It looks to me as though he MIGHT have really been born a lot later than you think. This matches with Viv's 1911 and name of first wife....

He may have lied about his age as he would have to have been over 21 to marry without permission?
