Hi Austin,

Thank you for the info on Edgar and his wife. I also cannot find what happened to Fanny Howe too cannot find a marriage or death for her.

Well Thank you for all your help and time you have been a star :-D

All the best

Wendy- thanks for letting us help! On a rainy day (like today) , it's nice to have something to do indoors.

If I spot anything else or find Fanny I'll let you know :-)

I appreciate all your help Austin and I'm sure I'll be back needing some more help

All the best

Wendy
