I was wondering about the name change,,,was he hiding something?
 
There is a marriage in Camberwell in 1882

Charles Edward Ledgerwood   on the same page   Emma Ellen Wenman and Maria Hollis.

Was he running away from a first marriage,so joined the army in 1884 ?

there is a birth of an Ellen Emma Wenman in 1859 in Hastings,Sussex

there is a death of an Emma Ellen Ledgerwood in 1899 in Hastings,Sussex,,,she was b 1859.

I might be barking up the wrong tree,,,but thought id throw it out there

Gortonboy deserves a mention in the despatches for all that

On Family Tree the tree owner has a note after each childs entry that they were all children of charles ledgerwood  while rosina was married to Thomas Young. On their birth registrations after their christian name the letter "L" was included and they took their fathers surname later.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I leave the computer for a few hours and come back to three pages of fantastic information - what can I say but WOW!!!!!!!

I am actually researching this family for very good friends down under in Oz who we hope to visit very soon, and I was trying to start off their family tree. That has now turned into a flying start. They will be so thrilled.

Thank You all once again.
Best Wishes and happy searching.
