I've dropped that tree owner a mail. Actually I think he's a cousin of mine [we're not a close family]. He hasn't logged on for six months though so not sure I'll get a reply.

I've just searched for an Edward kitching marriage to an emily williams and I can't find one

Here's an obsure potential, probably nothing. There was a Henry Thornton, [Roses fathers name] born in Poplar, London in 1875. There was also an Emily Williams who married there in the same year. Rose subsequently pops up in Manchester, as does henry. Perhaps they moved...[this made more sense yesterday.]

Just a thought don't know how much help it will be but one of my ancestors was registered Edith Rose but married as Rose Edith. May be Edward Richard could have been Richard Edward just clutching at straws really
Checked findmypast for Edward Richard Kitchen/Kitchin/Kitching in case there was a spelling error no luck there so far unfortunately

Are you amember of ancestry - if so you can contact them

I was looking for a bertram crump marriage - but I can't find one

Yes I think so.

was in on ancestry?

Someone else trying to follow this tree has Emily Williams as EKs wife, born 1875, but I think it's a guess. Dang, I can't remember where I found that now...this is the trouble with doing this, you lose track.

Hopefully the Edward Snr's wife will have been the informant (if she outlived him)

If ERK had siblings you would be able to order one of their birth certificates to get the mothers maiden name, as your ERK was probably registered under his mother maiden name.

My other also mentioned relations in Canada called Crump. But no one knows anything about it. ['Bertram Crump'?]

There's always been a story that we're linked to a General George Kitching. He was a contemporary of ERKs but I've investigated it and can't see the link. It may be back and his branch could have been from a sibling of EK, or further back, I suppose. The General was with the Britich Army in India in the thirties and the Canadian Army in WW2, where he became quite famous.

The Edward who died? I don't know. Actually, I don't know for ERK either.
Just ordered EKs death cert.

Did Edward have any siblings?

HI

May Thornton and Bertram Crump [!] And Rose Thorntons father was a bricklayer called Henry.

Hi david
Who are the witnesess on edwards wedding cert?

David,
Edwards father wasn't invented his death is registed as I posted previously, died in Barton Upon Irwell, aged 51, 1922.

Does your dad or his sibs remember their dad as having any sibs?

Birth cert for ERK that is....

I don;t understand why there's no birth cert. As ERKs father is mentioned on the marriage cert, albeit deceased...unless he was invented.
