EDIT: Forgot to say that this birth is on scotlandspeople too.

thanks once again jonesey. it just gets worse doesnt it . not only do we have every spelling of edouarde but i hadnt thought it might not have been their real name and it might have been a stage name !!!! i have put a post on here asking if anyone has a credit for scotlands people that they dont need. i think that it is going to be the only way to find out about henri 's parentage
thanks so much for you interest and help

oh never mind kath i thought it was going to be them as well.
cheers linda x

think i will bite the bullett and ask the site if anyone has a crdit for scotlands people that might be about to expire and they dont need hope it doesnt start a debate
cheers linda

thanks jonesey
looks like eleanor had henri when she was very young. dont know what the scotland connection is ? wish scotland was on the free bmd .
the name keeps being transcribed as edwards which doesnt help,
the family are my brother in laws and their surname was EDOUARDE and he was led to believe they were french but thats as far as he knows..
thanks once again
linda
