hi chocci would you know iff edwin died in the usa if so when and where does the name james come in. was his name edwin james or james edwin because i did not know he had a second name also could you tell me what site you get your infor from and do you have to pay to get on it. thanks

Not sure where the name James comes in. He could have been Edwin James or James Edwin I suppose.
Got the information I posted from Ancestry Worldwide membership. Have subscribed for quite some time and have found it very useful both in researching my own tree and trying to help other people.
Have got to go out for a while, but will have another look later to see what I can find.
Perhaps someone else will also have a look for you.

(James ) Edwin is now a widow, so Charlotte must have died in the last 10 years
