Excellent site, because of our family's unusual history in Cuba I have been struggling for a couple of years trying to make the connection between R.Edgar and his wife and Cuba, they must have been truly pioneers in the telegraphy industry, by my reckoning they crossed the Atlantic at least 8 times between 1892 and 1916, do you have any information regarding the death of Roberts wife Margaret?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that Robert Edgar's death certificate was stated as :age 65 died of Acute angina and syncoptic Cardiae (heart attack) and was witnessed by his daughter (my G.mother) I have his old sea chest complete with initials and shipping stickers still on the sides to and from Cienfuegos Cuba plus a nice photograph of him in a tropical cotton suit probably taken at around 55 - 60+ years of age in Cuba

Amazing, after all the searching I have done to find another relative of Robert Edgar, he was my G.Grandfather, he died in the Liverpool area on 6th. Dec. 1916 after many years travelling between Cuba and the U.K. which can be tracked via the Ellis island website, given that the Cuban, Spanish war of independance was taking place around 1898 - 1902 probably explains why the two younger children were returned to the U.K. I cannot as yet find any reference to the death of Margaret edgar (nee McKean) but it appears to have occurred around 1898- 1903
