Edith H Leckie

Accounts rather than biographies - you will have seen them by searching,
E.g. ‘he married twice ...’

Right understand what you mean. For a minute though thought that you may have read a biography as Squire did write books and was a member of the astronomical society. I bet Slack wasn't a mariner! All most fascinating though and I will have to amend my article accordingly.

Thanks

1871 Thomas Slack was a Dock Engineer Secretary and 1881 a Commercial Clerk.

Thanks .... I do believe that I have run this thread to ground now and wish to thank all for their information, time and assistance.

Thank you, most sincerely

Hi,

Just to complete the picture regarding Edith's half brother - Charles Beresford Lecky -

He married in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on 30 December 1891 to Lottie Lowell Greenwood Lyle - he was 28 she was 20.

He died in Havant, Hampshire 15 Oct 1914 and she died there on 9 Feb 1936.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that Alan, what anout Edith's children? Did the Captain for instance survive the war? I hasten to add that I have finished my article though, updated of course adding the divorce. Well it spiced it up a bit.

Thanks

Hi,

From Free BMD records you can see that the children married - I am not going to publish details in case we infringe Rootschat's  policy on living persons.

I will leave you to do any further research yourself.
