His death entry gives his age as 70 in 1949 (this can be out by a few years depending on how well the informant knew him). There is this birth as a possible:-

Name: Edwin Elkin
Year of Registration: 1881
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Stone
County: Staffordshire
Volume: 6b
Page: 26

There is another birth for this name around the same time but this one has a middle name, and there is no middle name on his marriage or death reference.

trying to find the birth certificate of my maternal grandfather EDWIN ELKIN died 1949 aged 70 in Portsmouth, married my grandmother Laura Pollentine 12 May 1921 in Portsmouth. He was a Musical Director. His father was named as EDWIN ELKIN Patternmaker deceased on the marriage certificate. Family folklore has it that his mother was called JESSIE and he had a sister LIZZIE. Any connections gratefully received - many thanks. Fay Lewis
