Have you looked to see if anyone on here has Edgar or Mabel in their trees?

If so, you can then try to contact them for further information.

If born in 1889, Flamstead, Edgar is in 2 people's trees, but not yours?

Added:
think you have that date, but no place of birth.

Hi to all, especially patchem,
The info was very helpful, how do I find these people who you said, have Edgar on their tree, as when I put him into searches, it doesn't say he appears on any tree.?
Any help would be most appreciated, I'm a newbie, keeping going around in circles. David
