I am [I think 90%right] he is my g/uncle and I don't give monkeys about him. Why because there is 3 of them Edwin 1877,gertude 1880 and my g/dad henry albert 1885.
Gertude ran away and went to USA, Edwin marr ledbury 1902 and I hope had good life went down to shirehampton both of them were born out of wedlock, henry albert b 1885 when henry john summers marr caroline baker 1884 he was also the father of Gertrude so I thought he was also edwins dad, but I said this to the lady and she said I was wrong, there father henry john was a ladies man marr 3 times before he died, I did not know a great deal about Edwin but reread some letters Gertrude sent to my mum and she came in 1926 with her 2 children to see her brother at shirehamton her other brother henry albert live in leeds with wife and 2 girls she never came to see g/dad they did meet 1954 he went to USA to see her

Edwin Baker probably married one of the following people

Name: Mary Ann Pocknell

I feel you're correct - Edwin Thomas is not yours

I'm still a bit confused with this:

"henry albert b 1885 when henry john summers marr caroline baker 1884 he was also the father of Gertrude so I thought he was also edwins dad".

IF I have found the right baptism for Edwin (?) his mother was named as LUCY.

Have I got my wires crossed?

Christine
henry john summers thought he was gods gift to womanhood he was my g/g dad he was a liar/coward and genraly a sh-t hated by 99% of his family died in the 1920s leeds left his daug gertude with his dad in law felix be cause after his wife d 1888 felixs daug caroline felix he started a little war on the summers 75%of them left much marclc/ledbury area, when he diedwithin 4 miles of him lived his three children 2 of which were marr and had kids my g/dad his dad was marr he had 2 girls[1 was my mum] he is buried in a paurpers grave in leeds.
Christine
henry john was a big fellow and worked on farms around ledbury sometimes with felix who was also a labourer I think that's how he got to know caroline henry marr caroline 1884 I always thought Edward[Edwin] was also henry johns kid
WHEN I PHONED USA UP TO TALK TO GERTRUDES DAUG A WHILE AGO I AM SURE SHE SAID HER MUM IN 1926 said I AM SAILIN TO ENGLAND TO SEE MY BROTHER.now gertude never knew she had henry albert my g/dadas a brother not til labout 1954/5
gertude went to shirehamton to see edwin
