Edna Florence Marie Leslie 1926

[Rosinish]

"Andrew Charles" was on a piece of paper along with a photo of Edna standing with an older man - purely speculation that it's her father's name

Can you please answer question below as this too seems to be "purely speculation"?

Can you be specific as to how/where the info. on Edna was found if you have no paperwork for her?

Hi Annie
You don't ask people questions or rather think to ask questions when very little is volunteered by the person.
I did meet Erroll.
But it was years later that I took an interest to find out more. As you do, I've spoken with those who knew him a bit better. People recall names etc
The person I really want to find is Edna, but she seems to be elusive

Hi Gerry

I've got the baptism for you. If you send me a pm with your email address, I will forward it on.

While I was at the library yesterday, I checked the Times of India Archive online in the reading room. There was no entry for their marriage, Errol's birth or a later death for Edna.

I also checked the index books of marriage and burial entries to see if there were any likely candidates in the variant spelling category as well as any missed entries correctly spelt. There weren't any.

What I'm suggesting is that the marriage and burial may have taken place at a Roman Catholic Church which has not or did not deposit its registers upon Independence in 1948 or did not complete and supply the quarterly returns which make up this collection.
