Diamond Jim
« on: Wednesday 02 April 08 16:05 BST (UK) »
Frequented Doncaster, as his mother lived there!
All living family members who i am currently in contact with remember him as Diamond Jim, but this is as much as we know about him. We think that he was born in 1902, and he may have left England for Australia in 1949.
Thanks

Did he have a surname?
Who was his mother?
To whom was she married?
can you tell us of any known siblings?, (name, years, place)
Was his mother in Doncaster from 1901/1902...

How was he related to the Lenard/Leonard Edge you've mentioned in other threads?

Do you mean that you think Diamond Jim and Leonard were the same person? Without a definate Christian name it will be difficult for you or anyone else to get more information as records like birth, death, marriage, census, etc. will not have any nickname listed.
