Yes this is them, thank you. Now I need to find what happened to Edward after he left there. Thank you so much. Frederic moved to London so maybe Edward did as well.

So Pamela,

Do you know his brother's name please?

Was he older or younger than Edward?

Approx. what age were they when fostered?

Is Bates their birth name? - Do you know the names of the family who fostered them?

How are you connected to them please?

Did either of them marry - if so, to who ?

Any little bit of info will help us to search.
