Hi Casalguidi, just looking at options. Archivist at Croydon suggested that perhaps it might be a good idea to look at neighboring counties. I am sending off for copy of death certificate. It is just the fact that the census says he was born in 1822 and the copy of his marriage certificate says 1829 - confusing. I have been looking for Edward for about 5 years. Seem to be getting some good info from this site.
Regards Poppyann
