Hi,
I'm looking for an Arthur Edge should be aged anywhere between 2 and 6 and born in Amersham. Looking to find any parents as he may have had step-siblings. Parents should have been John Edge and Eliza Kingston (previously Shrimpton). Was there anybody else in the household??

Hi Ricky,
Thanks for the info. I think Eliza was married to a Kingston before she became an Edge. I believe she has other previous children as well actually. Thanks,
