Francis EDGAR

Yup, likely: "Caner / Chair Bottomer  Made woven cane chair seats. " Either that or the alternative I thought up: made music by hitting his cane on a chair; sort of like the playing of the spoons....
 
I'll keep the link to that site (might even give me some ideas of what I want to do "when I grow up"!

I am sorry I cannot be of help as the Edgar in my tree was by a second marriage to my great grandmother's sister, and I don't have much information on the family.  They did however have Cumberland connections... if you can determine a likely range for the date of birth George Edgar, that would be helpful to people who may be able to help you.

This is the most recent I have for the Edgar's in my family:
1901 census RG13/4868 Folio 83 page 19 civil parish Caldewgate and Carlisle. Town Carlisle

Address 11 Cumberland Street
Francis Edgar head age 35 Railway Engine Fitter born Jersey (island)
Jane Edgar wife age 36 born Scotland (my ggrandmother's sister, Francis' second wife)
Jane dau age 8 born Scotland
Alice dau age 6 born Scotland
Albert son age 2 born Workington Cumberland

(note Jane and Alice were daughter's from Francis' first wife, also a Jane)

Good luck!

Hi
    Thank you for your kind reply, however, Ihave very little to go on as my mam wae only told that George Edgar lived on the Marche & Quey area of Workington befor moveing away with his parents possibly to Scotland but if hes around my Grandmothers age she was born in 1914/15 Ihave travald this root With nothing found. the stolen documents were very unfortunat to say the least realy they were my last hope unles I come across someone who is related or herd of him.
            Imust add that George did come back yo marry my Grandmother but my Gr grandfafer sent him away. this is all I have but thank you so much for your reply
