Title: Mabel Edwards born Heffner
Post by: Stephanie Hohls on Monday 01 October 18 10:29 BST (UK)
Looking for any details of my grandmother who married my grandfather George Henry Edwards on the 15th June 1914. They had five children together before she passed away. They were Clarence Herbert Edwards, George Desmond Edwards, Basil Watlyn Edwards, Audrey Kenyon (born Edwards) and Peggy Doreen Pearce (born Edwards). My grandfather is buried in Stellawood cemetary with his second wife Kathleen Honora Edwards.

Charles Edward Heffner was her father.

Her grandfather was Andrew Heffner - his death notice is here
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS7P-T93K-Z?i=19&cat=229462

and her grandmother Amelia Penelope's DN is here
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS7P-T9W7-5?i=1106&cat=229462

Their wills are included on the pages following their DNs.

Mabel's mother's maiden name was Bruuyee - I'll see if I can find her DN.

Yes, sorry - her father's name was Charles Andrew (not Edward) Heffner.
