Thanks Jacqueline,
I have already contacted the two tree matches and they only had him on their trees through marriage to other family members back in the 1920's.
I am more interested in the younger generation who are alive now. I will look at the Ancestry offer in the morning and thanks for your help.

Look in search trees

Sitting waiting for someone else to make a move isn't likely to be productive

And look at Ancestry before the offer expires

Thanks to you all for the replies, I will look into what you have found, some of this info I had but not all. Some of this family may have moved, even to the states, but I'm not sure, I will keep looking, but just hope someone in the family will see this and get in touch.

I am trying to trace any family of Edgar who was born in Flamstead in England in c1889 and emigrated to Canada in the early 1900's..
He was married I think to a Louise and may have had children by the names of John b 1921, Daniel b 1923, Lenore b 1920.
I am trying to compile a family tree and would love to hear from anyone connected with Edgar and fill in the missing gaps on that side of my family.
My grandmother was Mabel Cook, his sister.
In anticipation, David Johnson
