Help what to try next please for EDSALL Henry David Howes

[sparrett]

That is terrific work from Debra and after all these years a wonderful outcome for Jenn.

It is very strange that Henry North EDSALL wrote his will when the adopted boy was already in his care and excluded him from any benefit.

This in spite of the trips to England they took him on and the reports of the good care he was receiving.

We do not know how long the boy stayed with the EDSALLs after the last shipping sighting and no mention of him in Sarah's death notice in 1891.

A strange one, but at least, now, Jenn, you know his origins.

Yes Sue it sure was so good. 

He was married from the home HN Edsall when he was approx 22.

So we could assume he stayed with them till he married.   South Australian death notice from that era doesn't seem to mention much in the way of family.

Regards Jenn
