EDGE KERR BARTLE 1900s

[Heatha]

Hello,

One of my relatives, Marion Kathleen BARTLE (or Kathleen Marion BARTLE or Molly BARTLE) married Eric W EDGE on 18th April 1942 at St Seiriol's, Penmaenmawr, Caernarvonshire, Wales. The Groom, as reported in the North Wales Weekly News was the son of son of Mrs. KERR and the late Mr. W. EDGE, of Moreton, Wirral, Cheshire. I have more or less discounted Eric Walter EDGE, born in the third quarter of 1916 in Northwich RD and Eric William EDGE born in the second quarter of 1913 in West Derby RD.

Does anyone have any ideas about who this Eric W EDGE might be?

From the marriage cert what job did he do and who did he name as his father(and his job?)

[Comberton]

I know you have discounted Eric William 1913 but this is a coincidence.

Have you looked at this marriage?

1939 Register in Wallasey has William Kerr 1884, Elizabeth Ann Kerr 1888 and younger people with Kerr and Edge surnames including Eric W Edge b 1913
1921 census is Elizabeth b 1888 with several children including the two from 1939

Well found Comberton.

It seems as though the 1913 Eric's parents are...

That is a fairly recent birth Comberton and it is likely he is still alive,and therefore should not be named on Rootschat.

Thank you very much, everyone. I have now sorted out the birth dates for both of my 3rd cousins and Eric William EDGE's death in 1985. Please forgive the delay in responding but I wanted to ensure that I had all my ducks in a row before I did so.

I always find it quite frustrating that I probably could have fathomed this all out myself if I had looked more carefully but I guess that is life (and old age).

Once again, to you all, many, many thanks for helping me unravel this and guiding me through the inaccuracies in other people's research which led me to reject Eric William EDGE born in 1913!
