What do you mean you've got his children but with wrong birth dates? I might be being a bit slow, but don't understand.

Like Margie, I can't see a birth for Valerie - unless she was born before they were married and registered as Daniels. But even then, not in the same area.

I'm assuming, although you haven't said so, that Percy was the child of Edmund and his wife..............

Is that correct?

Percy doesn't seem to have produced any male descendants, and he was, as far as I can see, the only male child of Edmund and his wife
