I too am beginning to smell a rat or two. I had noticed the widow bit (his death is 99% the one in 1916 given his many first names) and she describes father as occupation gentlemen - he died in 1885 and as late as 1881 was plying his trade as a baker. There must be something strange going on also with the fact that the Edgumbe/Edgcombe bit does seem to be associated with Ada Double/Birchall/Buckley so what is her mother doing with it also? It doesn't help but I've found Charles Francis B Birchall's will, £19 to a spinster that is probably his sister and also his first wife's will. The presumed son, Francis Cyril E Birchall seems to have gone to Canada, he was married in Toronto in 1918, is on an incoming passenger list from Quebec in 1926 and died in Bournemouth in 1978 as Suzard found. It may be that if any of his family are around, something may surface there. Meanwhile, as I've said, I'm now waiting for Ada's (first) marriage cert to see what it says. I'm sure the answer lies somewhere in her marriage/connection to Charles FBB. Thanks for your interest everyone.
