No Katy, only ONE middle name for the Edith who married Lewis

If you take the time and trouble to read carefully the baptism info etc posted you will note that the first child named Edith died.....and I wrote that Edith had been named after her dead sister.

You really do need to absorb all the info you are given.....................

Hi Prickles

Yeah it does make sense. Thank you. The one that is a little confusing is the whole Emmeline bit. But i think i have worked it out now lol.

Thank you

Hi Katy

As you can see from the records posted.............Both Edith's birth and marriage records show that Edith was Edith E Bligh.

Her death record shows that she was Edith Emily Lewis...........So Emily must be her middle name.

I hope that makes sense!!.........Prickles.

Thank you so much everyone! This is amazing, and sorry to be such a pain!

Reggie, i'm sorry i dont have much to go on. My nan has passed away, so unfortunatly i dont have any help from her. As for her brother's family i am not in contact with then. My grandad is ill and doesnt remember a lot. So all i have is the little help my dad can give me. I am really grateful for the help you have given me. And being that i have not got a birth cert for my nan i only had how my dad spells Edith's last name. I have looked for weeks to find all this info myself. And each time i think i find something i find something that contradicts it. But like i say thank you for all your help, it really is appreciated.

While glancing over the information you have all gathgered i noticed that for Edith you have come up with two middle names for her but the same names for her parents.

Thank you so much everyone, this is beyond amazing. I am so gratefull to all of you for your amazing help and patiences.

I will go through all of this info properly and get back to you.

Thank you again.

Katy x

Alfred married Emma's Sister Emmeline...........funny how she married under the name of Daines when she appears as Thompson (A Widow) in the 1871 census.

I think she was telling fibs because i can't see a Daines/Thompson marriage.

Hmmm, i am thinking now that Emmeline had a sister Emma J who died........Emmeline then took on the surname of Bligh and took on Alfred and Emma's children who appear with her in the 1891 census.


Will come back to this later.
