Good evening did you know of his siblings because it's sounding as if my great grandfather father was his brother
My great grandfather was also a teacher matter a fact he was a headmaster spoke 15 language also was a part of ww1 &ww2

I have only just seen this - hope you haven't given up !
I have no birth details for Edward Stanley Gilkes but he was my great grandfather, born Barbados 1862, died there December 1925. His burial record had his mother as Elizabeth Moore but with no further info. he had 4 children; Millicent, Edward, George and Arthur, better known as Lamont, who was my grandfather. If you can shine any light on this information or glean anything from it, Please let me know.

Best wishes
Cheryl
