Edwin Charles Edmunds b 19 Mar 1897 Hastings, Sussex
« on: Saturday 25 August 18 12:06 BST (UK) »
The above emigrated to SA 15 Sep 1920 and married there 21 Apr 1928 at Natal to Nellie May Jordan, he was a widower and she a spinster bc 1910, they had 3 children named on FSO and 1 of them married to an unknown surnamed lady and they had a child?
I'm unable to find Edwin's earlier marriage so presumably he married in SA, nor can I find his and Nellie's passings?
Are there any other records available other than what little appears on FSO?

The references to the estate files suggest Edwin died 1967, followed by Nellie in 1968.
