Cant Find Edwin Seymour Shekle born 1906 (Jul 09 Green)
Was Edwin a relation of yours? I am trying to build our family tree, and I am stuck. He was born in Poplar in 1906 and sadly died in Brighton 31st December 1971. Shekle is an unusual name but I can't find anyone who has ever heard of him. Was he born in the workhouse? Was he married elsewhere? Was Edwin not his real name?
