yes had look myself but no joy no he had no middle name, and yes thats his parents marriage.

There is no William Edwards born 1907 in Birmingham?

I searched from 1905 - 1909 and all the births have a middle name

Have you got his birth details correct?

Nothing apparent

1911 census - household transcription
Person: EDWARDS, William

EDWARDS, William Head Married M 30 1881 Cutters Hewer And Tester Birmingham Warwickshire
EDWARDS, Elizabeth Wife Married
4 years F 29 1882 Walsall Staffshire
EDWARDS, William Son M 3 1908 Aston Warwickshire

mother and marriage dates for mother do not match unless Rose died. Do you have any other details for Rose and William John or sibling names. May help to track him down.

Thanks LK for posting the 1911....it doesnt help us much does it grrrr

Think we need more info

Not seeing a marriage on FreeBMD for a William Edwards to a Thelma

Gins the one I have posted is not correct unless Rose dies and William remarries. We need more info.

Now this is possible

This is the only marriage I can see for a Ros*Jarvis on Freebmd...

And here it is from Familysearch

groom's name: William John Edwards
groom's birth date: 1876

groom's age: 25
bride's name: Rosamund Palmer Jarvis
bride's birth date: 1879
bride's birthplace:
bride's age: 22

marriage place: St. Thomas Parish, Birmingham, Warwick, England

groom's father's name: Matthew Henry Edwards

bride's father's name: Thomas Jarvis

groom's marital status: Single
bride's marital status: Single

And the age fits what LK has found on 1911 for Rose

and 1901

It also fits with the death for William John.

Jackey could be a Jack and therefore a John.

Yep...So you cracked it LK....Well done... :-)

thank you ladies you have got them on the 1911 census no william did not have a middle name that we are aware of, death details right for his father and their marriage also correct, just trying to find william jnr's marriage now.

Teresa

Who were Williams daughters? If they are still alive you can PM thier names and DOB

Well done LK :-)

Teresa it sounds like you already knew of William John's death. It would help you to give as much as you know when you post as I spent some time looking for a William John in 1911. Just a tip to help you get the most out of the boards. ;-)

Also, do you know the death date for William Edwards?

As LK says it will help us to help you if you can give us all the details...the odds are we'll find the info you want if you tell us what you know :-)
