Im looking for a man named Edwin Reid born abt 1933 and married muriel alexander on feb 6, 1958 and they had a son edwin kyle reid also in 1958. Their witnesses at the marriage were Bridie Lavelle and G A de Jager. Edwin Reid was a professional wrestler at the time of the marriage. They lived in Brixton metropolitan borough of Lambeth
I woukd like to know who Edwin's mother and father were and if he had any siblings
-
Can't help with the still-living (or likely still-living).
I will ask for names to be edited out
-
Muriel died in 1973 and edwin died in 1995
-
I see that the marriage record has his name as Edward D.
Scotland's People has a birth record for an Edward Docherty Reid born 1931. Is this your Edward?
-
From what i know Edwin was born in Lambeth England he was Edwin David Reid
I heard he passed away in norfolk england and that he had other children
-
Their witnesses at the marriage were Bridie Lavelle and G A de Jager.
It should also show his father's name and occupation.

Edwin Reid a Wrestler is on two inward bound shipping lists from Canada
both times he gives a London address of 313, Brixton Road.
on the list of 14 September 1957 his date of birth is given as 11.12.932 Which I interpret as 11 Dec 1932
On the earlier (1954 list) his occupation is given as 'Side Gluer" I have absolutely no idea what that might be !
However - I cannot see a birth that matches that.
Also - it is a different date from the 1995 Norwich death, well the one I can see anyway. Day and Year are both different.
Added - in the 1954 list he says his country of last permanent residence was Canada.
Oh, on the 1957 list his passport is Canadian. So.... perhaps he was born in Canada?
-
Ya it is strange i have a departure of canada in september 1957 and muriel went to england in december of 1957 and she married him in 1958 and her address at the time of marriage was astoria walk brixton. I would love to find out edwins parents names. I know muriels because i am married to her son by her second husband. I looked at the marriage certificate again and it says his dads name was David and he was a builders painters and decorators but it says nothing about Edwins mother or her maiden name which our canadian marriage certificates say
-
There is a tree on Ancestry which has them both born 1932, Surrey and both deaths in Norfolk.
-
Solidrock can you give me a link to that tree. Because muriel died in a car accident in madison kentucky on the way back from a vacation. Muriel was born on april 1940 deceased march 1973

Yup the brawata is my husband that would be the tree i made i have hit a brick wall with edwins past family and birth and death dates and names of his mother and father and possible siblings. I could have gotten edwins death date wrong since edwin seems to be a popular name in england
-
in 1952 there is No one living at 313 Brixton Road (according to Electoral Rolls)
in Oct 1956 for the 1957 roll it is a John G ABBEY
and the same for the previous year.
-
Their witnesses at the marriage were Bridie Lavelle and G A de Jager.
It should also show his father's name and occupation.
Debra :)
-
Shows fathers name but not mothers or mother maiden name :)
-
what IS the father's name
added - and occupation
-
Is the 1960 birth of a daughter in the Wirral connected?
-
Fathers name is David Reid occupation builders, painter, decorator
-
at 16 Astoria Walk (the addresss on inward shipping list 1957 for Muriel) are Andriana and Kyriacos NICOLA
-
Another tree is giving a death in Great Yarmouth of 12 March 1994

this could be a HUGE redherring But...
there is a marriage of a David Henry Edwin REID a soldier to Estella Mae WESTAVER. Kingston, Ontario 21 April 1932
The birth of David Henry Edwin REID was 1908
parents David REID a labourer and Margaret Rosanna nee MORROW
-
I don't know if this is of any significance but there is a marriage for an Edwin D Reid to a Noreen Ennis in 1990 in Lambeth.
May be a totally different Edwin ::)
-
On 22 May 1959 Muriel Reid born 27 April 1940 with her infant son Edwin born 26 May 1958 travelled from Liverpool to Montreal Canada
Ship Empress of France.
Address 2 Lynton Court, Anerley Road, London.
BOTH are listed as Canadian citizens.
Since both his parents are Canadian in previous post his (Edwin sr.)1957 entry into the UK was with a Canadian Passport the infant Edwin was also given Canadian citizenship.
ref: Ancestry UK outward bound lists.
-
the occupation of Edwin REID who died Norfolk either 1994 or 1995, there seems to be some confusion about dates on the cremation register most likely 1995, was a seaman as well as being a few years too young.
it seems unlikely that can be your man. Although of course, stranger things have happened!
-
Girlguide where did you find the marriage of edwin d reid to noreen ennis?
-
That was on FindMyPast
Edwin D Reid to Noreen Ennis
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1990
Registration month 4
District is Lambeth
Volume as transcribed 14
Page number 84
-
I found it on ancestry but cant look at it because i only have a canadian membership
-
Ancestry won't tell you anything more than I did at Reply #25.
I sent you a pm to say that you will need to order the cert from the GRO.
-
Can anyone find a record of muriel taking edwin kyle back to england between 1960 and 1963. I know she took him back to his father just not sure of the exact date. I would also like to know who edwin was married to before muriel because in the marriage certificate it said he was a widower at the age of 25
-
Ontario marriages on ancestry only go to 1937.
If as you live in Canada perhaps there are local sources that could help.
-
This looks likely

Just found out the Edwin Reid I'm looking for was a wrestler from Toronto Ontario who move to England and wrestled there also. He werstled in England in the 60s. In 58 he had a son named Kyle in England
-
Is this your Edwin Reid??
https://www.wrestlingheritage.co.uk/a-trans-atlantic-villain
-
Girl guide yes it is but i need more info :)
-
What sort of info are you looking for?
By the way I couldn't find any birth registration for Kyle. Is that his first name and do you know what his mother's maiden name was?
-
Kyle was born in england and his first name was edwin. I would like to know where edwin david reid passed away. If he came back to canada or stayed in england. I found a sit that said the last place he is known to wrestle was 1970 england
-
Okay found the birth. There is a travel record for Edwin and his mum Muriel going to Canada on the Empress of France on 22nd May 1959.
Muriel was born on 28th April 1940. Edwin's birth date is given but I won't put it here as he may still be alive. If you want it send me a pm.
The address at the time of leaving was 2 Lynton Court, Anerley Road, London, part of the borough of Bromley.
Apparently they are both Canadian, last place of residence is UK, intended place of residence is not indicated for Muriel but Edwin's is the UK.
Edwin being a baby may have been put on his mother's passport and assumed to be Canadian.
-
I don't know if this is of any significance but there is a marriage for an Edwin D Reid to a Noreen Ennis in 1990 in Lambeth.
May be a totally different Edwin ::)
Did you find out if this was him?
Born 1932. He could well still be alive.
-
I will check out that noreen ennis one thank you
-
I'm one of the owners of the www.wrestlingheritage.co.uk website mentioned earlier. There does seem some confusion in this topic, which I hope I won't add to.
Edwin David Reid was the wrestler Gori Ed Mangotich. As living people cannot be discussed the banner of the Wrestling Heritage website gives an email address for anyone wanting to contact us.
