Dear Margaret Thank you I kept coming back to John Cawkwell but couldn't get far as Edward is not in any of the census with John

Dear Jonesy I have been to Rawcliffe 4 months ago and in 1911 census John Cawkwell was a farmer I met his grandson who's father was Abraham and he told me a coal trimmer made lots of money and he saved up and bought the farm on Station Road where he lives now but didn't know anything about my grandfather

Dear Margaret We are looking at Yorkshire I know there was an Edward Born 1894 in Hull but I think maybe he wasn't registared as Edward at birth but some records are blank pages in 1891 BMD records
