Hi again,
This looks like Benjamin's death in 1949... right age and place

If you are in the area, maybe you should visit the cemetery to see who else in this family is buried there.   :)

In the meantime... looking for a marriage for Benjamin,

I did a search on the UK BMD (using the multiregion - CHeshire and Flintshire)  between 1901 and 1915 and these are the possibilties (not sure if the results will pop up.. if not, you can do the search yourself at this site)

http://www.ukbmdsearch.org.uk/index.php

I know this is a complete guess, but given the location and the year, I like Martha Lamb in 1908.  Does this ring a bell at all??

I like this more now... just found a death for Martha Edwards in the right place too

How very interesting, sadly I don't have any photos of the Edwards family , and as there is no one to ask I popped a post on here. My grandmother Esther moved to Drury once she married and don't really recall ever meeting any members of the Edwards family when I was a child.

.   My grandfather Edwin married Esther Griffith's (Buckley) 1911. They had one son, my father Herbert, born 1912. They moved to Yorkshire when my dad was only little. I only have one photo of Edwin and a large photo of my grandmother Esther with my dad when he was a baby outside the  cottage on megs lane. I know my dad had three cousins Eve, Jane and Joan,not sure what relation to each other,and my dad used to talk about his aunty mag  l never. Met any of them.

I remember that there was another brother Benjamin, and another sister Rose  I have spoken to my husband who reminded me about an Uncle called Eric who also lived in Buckley and as luck would have it my husband came from a bungalow directly across the road from Rose Cottage the Edwards home which is still there ! and he remembers Alf Edwards who had a daughter Joan this could be the one your dad spoke of .

I must have had a good look at the Edwards family since first posting I have also found that Edwin who married Esther had brothers and sisters , George, Jospeh, William, Ann, John, Thomas, Edwin and Edward  his father was William Edwards and Mother was Mary
