Hi
yes this is him, but its his second wife,
His first wife: Helen Bowery,Helen and Edward had two children Kenneth Edward 1930 and cyril john 1934.
Edward and Gladys had three children Edward martin 1937-1940,my father Dennis martin 1939 and Bernard Alan 1942.
Edward and Gladys both died in 1969,and both buried in weston super mare,somerset.

Could this be his first marriage??

Name: Edward Land
Spouse Surname: Bolton
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1929
Registration district: Bradford
Registration county (inferred): Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume Number: 9b
Page Number: 363
Find Spouse: Nellie Bolton


I can't see Kenneth's birth but yes Cyril's mmn is given as Bowery.

kennenth was born in Gilbraltar,would that make a defference ?

I have just received Edward Land Birth certificate,
It shows that his parents were in fact Edward John and sarah conwell !
so what do i do next, ie what about the people i thought were his parents ? Is my tree all wrong ?
many thanks

Brian, send for his 1936 marriage certificate to see who he states is his father. I do think though that you will find that it is Edward. Just get the marriage certificate to double check.

If Edward is his father, then I don't think that your tree is totally wrong because I am fairly certain that Joseph was actually Edward Martin Land's uncle and so you will have the correct paternal grandparents for Edward Martin.

Hi Brian,

Gosh that cert arrived quickly ! - Does it also confirm that the middle name was 'Martin' and was his exact birth date 28th August 1901, as on his death registration?

As Rootgather says, your tree will not be 'all wrong' - it will just need a bit of 'pruning back' on one side.

That wedding cert would indeed be total confirmation.

Let us know if you need any further help.
