Well I will take on board you suggestions - but I will also go slowly until I get Edna Frances G's birth certificate - you just never know your luck - it might say something useful!!    :)

 Hi folks,

Have just heard from a Hilditch descendant to whom I wrote - one of Edna's children -  8)

He at least seemed to know who Edward was and made the comment that Edward died quite some time ago - I've written back post-haste to ask him what else he knows - like when and where and minor details like that!!    I DO HOPE he knows!! 
I also hope we are talking about the same Edward!!

Fingers, eyes, toes etc crossed-   Gee it is hard to type like this!    ::) ;D ;D

Agh,  Wiggy,

Fingers crossed, toes (nearly) crossed, (that perhaps) he has photos of ECG too, and perhaps a sea trunk full of info about ECG's mother's father's mum and earlier generations on that line  ;D

Cheers,  JM

Wiggy That's brilliant, now you have contact you never know where it will lead.  Just need to see that marriage certificate now.

Acting on a hunch from the tenor of the contact's writing, I've just been searching for Edward Gaunts who died in UK from 1927 to 1936.

There are two I find interesting but I don't know how things work in UK - if someone here had indexes, they could see more 'info'! -  does it work that way in UK??

 Edward Gaunt, died Derby aged 54 (that's two years under for my guy)  3rd Q 1930, 7b 561.

there was one other -

died Luton aged 60 -(once again 2 years out - over this time) 2ndQ 1932,  3b 406

Can anyone see more than that please?? -  if not, no matter!!  Just thought it might be worth a look -

Those are the only two for those years who even come close to the right age.

cheers folks,

Wiggy I don't think either of those are yours.

There is one born Nottingham living in Derby in 1901 and the other born Bedfordshire ( where Luton is) so it looks as though it's them.

Thanks for looking Jaywit!   That's all I needed  - just to know!! 

I've also looked in Queensland in case he came over here to 'be with his daughter'   ;)

 - -  been thinking about that too - Edna would be the female equivalent of Edward wouldn't it - and Frances was Edward's grandmother's name 'as I think I have mentioned . . .  and  James was a very small snail'!  ;)   ;D

so my other thought was that Edward may have died soon before Edna was born and she was named in his memory . . . . . just that we can't find the evidence!!   ;)

OK bed time in Aus.

Just been doing maths in the shower - and have realised that the year George Hilditch, husband of Edna, died was also the year Edward would have been 100 - so delete any reference to Edna and Edward being together in QLD!! 

Thing about FH is that you have to be able to add and subtract too!   ::) - no wonder I'm not so good at it!!!   ;D ;D

Wiggy

p.s.   Hope that contact replies soon - I'm in 'suspenders' now!!   ;)
