Hi, Benjamin Edwards b. c1878 Parents David age 34 & Mary age 32 West Derby Liverpool (1881 census this seems to be the first child)

Also in BMD is a David Charles Edwards b.1880 West Derby & another David John Edwards b. 1880 West Derby, Maybe one of them is Benjamin's brother.

Hi Melantho,

Do you have the names and approx dates of birth of any of his children ? If so, and they are or could still be living could you send the information via PM please.
