	I think you might have to come to terms with Edgar having been illegitimate. If Henry was already dead, then he really couldn't be his father, if you're lucky, she married his father later and he's named on the birth cert. If I was you I would purchase the birth cert that Sue first suggested without asking them to check father's name.
