Hi Janet

Sorry about error. never done this before.

Thanks for reply. Whether he married I have no idea. No record of him between 1891 and 1915 approx.

John

(referring to PM)

Not an error John just the best way to do things all round! Glad you found your way back here.

Jan

Hi Sharon
Sorry about error.
Thanks for reply.
Yes this is Edward/Edmund. But after 1891 have found nothing.

John

What info do you have for him dating from 1915?

Dea x

Deborah and Ann

Same goes for you my error through ignorance.

Thanks for reply and you have the right Edward/Edmund born in Lambeth but no knowledge after 1891. until about 1915.

John

What happened in 1915?

What info do you have for this date?

Dea x

Hi Dea
Done it again stupid error or not the best way to do things.

Edward lived with my grandmother until death in 1931. They lived in Cricklewood where he was a caretaker of a church hall

John

Thank you John,

I was just about to copy your pm onto here!!

Again,

What details do you have from 1915 ?

Who was the grandmother he lived with? - at what address in Cricklewood ?

+ any other details you have from this time?

Dea x

Which reg. district does Cricklewood come under? Do you have an actual address?
Jan

Hi Janet,

I think it is north London but we need feedback from John.

Dea x

I think it's Sudbury! Is this granny?

1911

LARGE AUGUSTA M 1834 77 Sudbury Suffolk

OOPS! Um, a long way from London....!

Jan

Hi

The address is 37 Oak Grove
Cricklewood,Hendon
London
NW2
My mothers birth certificate calls her mother Mrs.Large though I am not sure that they were married.

Not what you are after. but anyway, his parents are still at Lambeth Walk in 1911 (specified address and greengrocer!)

LARGE J M 1834 77 Lambeth London
LARGE MRS F 1839 72 Lambeth London

This person is living with them:

EDMONDS C M 1897 14 Lambeth London

Jan

If he was in the army he might well have been abroad during the 1901 census.

Jill

I believe that he served in the Boer War in 1901.

Edmund Alfred Large died 13th. March 1931, aged 67. Interred at Hendon Park Cemetery, Mill Hill.
This from a photocopy of a In Memoriam card.
Looks like the name Edward/Edmund was interchangeable within the family.
I have a marriage certificate for Annie Elizabeth Hart and Horace John Bull at Christchurch, Brondesbury, Parish of Willesden. London NW10 for Oct. 20, 1903.
