Just looking at Edwin's born in the area:

Births Jun 1892
Lewis Edwin James Wandsworth 1d 669

Births Sep 1893
Lewis Edwin James Kensington 1a 81

and then possible deaths
Edwin J Lewis
Birth Date: abt 1892
Date of Registration: Jun 1968
Age at Death: 76
Registration District: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 5f
Page: 717

Edwin J Lewis
Birth Date: abt 1893
Date of Registration: Sep 1968
Age at Death: 75
Registration District: Worthing
Inferred County: Sussex
Volume: 5h
Page: 833

Just trying to make sure that all possibles are still alive in 1966.

The Hammersmith marriage cert would help, it may be confirmation that 1911 census Edwin is the same Edwin James Lewis born 1893 to Edwin and Sarah



We need Simon's and his aunt's view on this to see if it rings any bells

Roy

I agree Roy. Especially if the groom's occupation happened to be bus conductor or the soldier from 1911.

Would the death certs have the former occupation of the deceased?

An ideal miracle would be to find the informant on one of the death certs was Hilda F A Kirkham, but to spend the £6 looking for a probate grant for the same man's estate, and finding there was one, and that administration went to one of the siblings of Edwin James Lewis the tram conductor's son, Albert J, Caroline Mary, or, given Edwin and Sarah had lost 4 out of their 10 children according to the 1911, youngest daurs Winnfred Annie or Florence Annie from census 1911.

Hi folks,

First of all, wow! Thank you so much for all your responses and hard work on our problem. This is all really appreciated.

I admit I like the idea of him following his father onto the buses. I shall pass all this information on to my aunt and see where she would like to go next and let you all know the outcome.

Once again, many thanks.

Simon

my mum is 'teds' daughter and she wanted to thankyou all for your help. we were stuck. she feels that the edwin with hilda sounds like a good match as the dates that he is not living with hilda match the dates my mum and her sister were born. 46 and 51. we have ordered the death certificate so now we wait :-( . thanks to simon to i had no idea where to go with this. :-D :-D :-D :-D

i now have a death certificate. no date of birth just 75 years old. he died in hospital so informant was an occupier! and his job description was retired school porter, which could still tie in as my mum said he was a handyman in a convent school in hammersmith. :-S so still no real answers.
