Thank you amondg – some great information that really does fill in a number of gaps, and correct a couple of possible errors. (For some reason, I had William Evanson (1852), married to an Elizabeth before Charlotte Green(?)).

Also fascinating that the Edge children of Millstone Lane were registered under their mother’s maiden name. (I wonder why?)

In life, I know that Joe, Walter, and Nellie were always Edge, and would, I assume, have been buried as such.

I visited their farm in August/September 1977 – even then, it was like a step into the past.
Walter, I believe, was still working at the penitentiary in Toronto (‘Trauna’, as he pronounced it), Joe spent his time trapping beavers and keeping them in his freezer (for their fur, I guess), and Nellie took me to the church where she was going to leave her money, and have a stained-glass window made in her name.

Some years ago, I traced their final resting place to the Lennox and Addington Cemetery, but was never able to ascertain when they died.

I wonder if anyone can help?

Thank you.

Sorry I confused you.

The children were registered under the name EDGE, I listed how the mother's maiden name was spelled in the GRO Index.  Various spellings.
