Looking for death of Arthur Frank Goldsmith Edwards B 1892
« on: Sunday 23 March 25 15:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help
Arthur Frank Goldsmith Edwards was registered Dec quarter 1892 in St George Hanover Square, London 01a page 434 MMN of Harman
I am looking for his death and cannot find him on the 1901 census
His mother Rose Harman and father Frank Edwards have split up and she is now with Robert Luck
There is a "Family Rumor" That he fell down a cutting or siding on the railway and died later with a swelling on the brain. I am unsure if this is true but if I could find his death certificate it might have something on it.
thank you for any help

Have you had a look for his name in newspaper reports? 

If he did suffer a tragic accident and died it was likely to have been reported.

Rose and Frank weren't married were they?  I can't see a marriage for them.

So Levi P Luck 13 in 1901 is the 3 year old Prince Edwards from 1891.

Good luck in the search.

no they were not married, though Rose chose to be a widow on the marriage to Robert luck.
She had a child in 1891 with frank Edwards but the child was not named and registered dead the same quarter, I'm waiting on the death cert. But I am trying to find the death of Arthur, I hoped the Goldsmith would make it easier to find what happened to him
Thanks for your help

I'm waiting on the death cert

There really is no need to get a paper certificate. For less than the price you could have got instant digital images from the GRO of the birth and death registrations, at £3 each, plus the birth of Arthur Frank Goldsmith Edwards as well.
