thanks jonesey
looks like eleanor had henri when she was very young. dont know what the scotland connection is ? wish scotland was on the free bmd .
the name keeps being transcribed as edwards which doesnt help,
the family are my brother in laws and their surname was EDOUARDE and he was led to believe they were french but thats as far as he knows..
thanks once again
linda
thanks so much you are a great help

Carter,
This is Henri in 1871 with his mother staying with his Grandmother in Halifax Yorkshire.

cheers linda

oh never mind kath i thought it was going to be them as well.
cheers linda x

thanks once again jonesey. it just gets worse doesnt it . not only do we have every spelling of edouarde but i hadnt thought it might not have been their real name and it might have been a stage name !!!! i have put a post on here asking if anyone has a credit for scotlands people that they dont need. i think that it is going to be the only way to find out about henri 's parentage
thanks so much for you interest and help
