The Edge family, Millstone Lane, Nantwich.

The Edge family, Millstone Lane, Nantwich.

My grandmother was Jane Edge, and I inherited two paintings from my great aunt Alice Edge.

However, three others that had a presence in my life were ‘Auntie Nellie’, ‘Uncle Walter’, and ‘Uncle Joe’, who emigrated to Enterprise, Ontario, Canada (when or why - I don't know). They visited Nantwich almost every year, and I visited them in 1977.

I have found Census and Baptism Records for Walter (1905) and Joe (1907) – parents Joseph (c1876) and Elizabeth (c1880) - but nothing, as yet, for Nellie, whom I’d always assumed, was their sister.

Can anybody help?

Thank you.

 Is this Nellie?   I think she is living with the family including brothers Joseph and Walter in 1921

Hello Ciderdrinker, 

Thank you so much for your research, but could I ask you to clarify a couple of things for me?

So, Walter (c.1905) emigrated as a farmhand and he had an uncle, Joseph Green, from 60 Lunt Avenue, Crewe (or was he 60 years old?) He was born Evanson but is now Green – which possibly ties into the Charlotte Green story. 

The family was going to Canada where a Walter Edge (Senior) already lived, but you can find no record of a Walter Edge (Senior) in the Nantwich family.
 
The parents of Elizabeth Edge 1880 were William and Elizabeth Evanson. Walter (Senior) was their infant son, therefore the brother of Elizabeth (1880). His father was William Evanson, but his mother was Charlotte Green (second wife?). On his death, he was possibly buried in Fainworth, Ontario.
 
Thank you so much for your fascinating research. This has led me on to a new branch of the family and gives depth to the ‘Canadian’ emigration. A clarification would be really valuable to me.
