Title: Edward Cecil Elliot Edlin
Post by: Tops on Thursday 25 February 10 12:11 GMT (UK)
My father is Edward Cecil Elliot Edlin, who lived and worked in Singapore.  He was born in England in 1904 and died in Singapore in 1968.  I am trying to get in contact with my siblings, P and J.

Are you aware of:

I see some hits for Edward Cecil Elliot Edlin / E.C.E. Edlin in the 1930s and 1940s.

 - there is someone who posted here asking about Edward, his name is Michael Peter Edlin, unfortunately it looks like he hasn't been on here since 2007.

Thank you very much for the link to the National Library of Singapore site.  I found lots of relevant and interesting material on the Edlins.

I am almost certain that M P E is my half brother, whom I haven't seen since 1958.  Thanks again.
