In Loving Memory of ALFRED JAMES EDWARDES WHO DIED AT LUCKNOW 21ST JUNE 1909 AGED 32 YEARS 6 MONTHS * SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JUSUS (Nishatganj cemetery, Lucknow) (In 1903 Alfred and Aileen had lost their baby daughter, Olive Eveline.) From Lynda Troidl: Alfred James Edwards full name was Alfred Thornleigh James Edwardes. His father was a James Thornleigh Carter Edwardes but the 'e' appears to have dropped now and again. I believe James was born in England and the marriage registry when he married Eveline Ellen Derridan Dudman in Oct 1871 (@Allahabad) indicates he was a widower. His son George Edwards was Alfred's half brother as they were both James's sons. George married a Elizabeth Rebecca Beach (Feb 1884 in Dinapore) and one of their sons was Leonard Oliver Verne Edwardes, father of Gerry Edwardes, who married Dorothea Birch, daughter of Leonard Stanley Birch. (Lynda Troidl is a descendant) |

Hello, I was wondering where this is located? I have a family photograph and it is my great-grandfathers grave.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteSorry that I didn't see your comment earlier. If you have been over my blog you would have noticed that I try to link graves when I know there's a relationship. Also buried in this Lucknow cemetery is a Leonard or Lenord Verne Edwardes 1901-1961.
Would you know whether Leonard was a relative?
Could you share any information on your great grandfather - e.g. where he worked, his wife, did she died in Lucknow as well?

Thanks for the comment
