There is a probate for Mary Wallace - of St Anthonys Nursing Home, St Leonards on Sea died 27 August 1989.  If this is her it may give information on Edward.

Probate documents are currently £1.50

Thank you so much Rosie99. That must be Edward's mother and her husband Konstantin but I will investigate further.

I wonder who the blacked out entry is in 1939.  If it is Edward then he may still be living but could it be a daughter as there is a marriage that could fit in the late 1940's

[Vella]

I do wonder too Rosie99 if it is Edward. My father was born in 1927 and I always presumed he and my Godfather were about the same age. if it is Edward on the 1939 register and he was born around 1930 there was quite an age gap between him and Constant Joseph.

Freebmd only brings up one record for that surname, the 1940's marriage who is probably still alive.

I wonder if Mary's probate would mention her children

Well I've drawn a blank on the Gov.Uk Wills online search so I think I will get some fresh air and come back to it another day! Many thanks for your time and efforts Rosei99 and everyone else.

You need to download the will to get info.  The details on the probate entry are minimal

After you pay etc it then takes a few days before the will is available to download.  You will get an email notification

I have now ordered the Will for Mary Wallace.
Many thanks to you Rosie99 and everyone for pointing me in the right direction.

The England Registers show Constant Joseph jnr and Edward living in the Deptford area but not for the same years. I've not come across a death notice for Edward yet but will keep searching.

I have now also found via Ancestry and typing in Edward Wallace, my Godfather travelling to Africa in 1952 as he was involved in a Locust survey and this fits in with what I remember my father used to talk about. The jig-saw is coming along!
