Can't see him in 1921 or 1939 - so far.

1933: he's at 147 Eswyn Road, Tooting, with his mother, and brothers Frank James Hedges, and Robert Nelson Hedges

Who is Arthur Hedges? When was he born?

I don't see the birth of any brother Arthur for Leslie.


ADDED:
You have an Arthur Hedges, born 1908 Shoeburyness, in your GR tree. Is that the person you mean?

Is that your grandfather, mentioned in this earlier thread?
https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/living_relatives/thread/1274639

NO - that Arthur was born 1877.

This is the man in your tree:

HEDGES, ARTHUR RALPH mmn BEW
GRO Reference: 1908 D Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 700


The Arthur in your other thread is Arthur Ralph's father , who married Mabel Bew.

Marriages Dec 1905 (>99%)
BEW Mabel Eliza L Marylebone 1a 1225
Hedges Arthur Marylebone 1a 1225


Arthur Ralph married in 1936, and you are his daughter Jennifer , if Arthur 1877 was your grandfather.

But Arthur Ralph did not have a brother Leslie.

In 1921, I think that Robert Nelson Hedges was in Reedham Orphange, Purley, Coulsdon, Surrey…..but, at the moment, I can’t see Leslie in that year

Frank was possibly in Goudhurst, Kent

Clara was employed as a private nurse by a family named Ebbels

However, it isn’t really relevant as they are NOT connected to ARTHUR
