Joseph Edward Biney

[avm228]

Extract from The Times' obituary (9 Jun 1958) of Sir (James) Henley COUSSEY, K.B.E., of Accra (died aged 67):

"He married, in 1930, Renée Dorothy, daughter of the late J.E. Biney, barrister, of Cape Coast.  There were two sons and two daughters of the marriage."

Yes that is correct.

Im so annoyed now, i don't have any information regarding JAMES EDWARD BINEY, all i know is that he had a daughter in 1905 and was a barrister at law, and supposedly married Jessie Russell.

I have some residence information:

27 Meadow Road, South Lambeth

Why are you annoyed?

What date was that address,1905 off the birth cert?

Carol

[genealogistsykes]

Because i've given you all the wrong information and i've been searching for the wrong guy and i've also given James Edward Biney's granddaughter the wrong information as well as she was over here 2 weeks ago and she said that she can't seem to find anything on him.

Yes the address is from the 1905 birth cert.

Yes, i have Irene's birth certificate, the details are as followed:

Irene Dorothy Biney, Girl, Father: James Edward Biney - Barrister at Law

I don't know how i got 'Joseph' into my head i think it was cause i was searching for a Biney marriage on FreeBMD and it popped up with Joseph Edward Biney.

Sorry guys.

could you quote the mother's maiden name please?

FROM the Birth Certificate please .....

It's supposedly Russell,mentioned in the first post of this thread Tom 

[TomRees]

Thanks - but wanted it from the 'horses mouth' - ie the actual Cert.

As we've seen, assumptions have been made, so .......

that marriage is well strange - Page 470a - no spouse no matter what gyrations you put FreeBMD thru with pages, surnames and forenames ....

Mothers madien name is Russell, James and Jessie couldn't of been married for long as Jessie re-married in 1915 to Albert Gosling and had two children, my grandmother and Russell Gosling who is deceased.
