So father is John Henry O'Melia.

Useful to know, thanks to alviegal

So the 1911 census posted earlier for the Melia family with father Edward is not the right one, and the birth suggested for Edward may also not be the right one.

Edward and Doris’s son’s baptism is on LanOPC site. I can’t C&P at the moment as I’m on my iPad

There is a birth registered JFM 1905 in Knaresborough district.

ooh that looks promising. Is it this one?

Mmmmmm…….occ doesn’t tally, but, of course, that’s 30-odd years before Edward’s marriage

One would have to think that the name is too much of a coincidence…………

Henry Baden died in 1904

Annie left for New york in 1906 with Mary E and Edward.

In 1939, 164 Fountains Road, Kirkdale was occupied by a family named Brookfield.............so no help there

This is John Henry (now called Harry) in 1930. He is now a painter so I wonder if Edward returned to England on his own.
