• Notes

  Both the Birth Certificate and the Baptism document show Henry's surname as NYE. With the evidence of his birth certificate, I believe that Henry is actually the son of Frank James EDWARDS. Elizabeth must have known Frank EDWARDS prior to her marriage to him in 1864 as his name appears on both the Birth Certificate of 25 Oct 1859 and the Baptism details of 20 Nov 1859. She also appears to have known of his occupation - 'assistant in a chemists shop' and 'medical assistant'. On both documents she is shown as living at home - 105. Cromer Street.
