So do I! Have to wait a week a see!

He married Martha Iles and they went on and had 7 children:

William E (1908-1989)
Leonard C (1910-1982)
Iris (1913-?)
Douglas (1918-1942 died in the war) married Patricia Marriott
Cecil A (1922-1983) twin of Dennis (1922-2002)
And then possibly Dorothy JG (1926-?)

Josephine someone on Ancestry has Edward F Chard in their tree with 28 members of family. Is that you. It is a private tree so you would have to send a message to the person if it's not you.

Hi,

Yes I did know he had a brother, he however along with Ellen disappears after after they are found in the Lilly household. I searched birth and his name is actually edmund but cannot find where he and ellen go.

I think that is me on ancestry and I have his nme in wrong, I gave up using it as it wasn't all that clear!

Also who is whos father? sorry Im a little lost! William H's father I don't know my grandfather who was very old at the time said he was called William but so are all the others!

Thanks everyone for their input, I'm quite astounded at how helpful people are.
