We (Jeff Scratch & Patch & myself) are hunting down information about two? Cunningham boys, Herbert and Edgar, apparent sons of Charles Cunningham and his wife Mary E Robinson.
(previous thread about Charles Eugene Cunningham eldest brother of Herbert & Edgar.)
Our dilemma
We have a birth record for Edgar Cunningham, born 26 Dec 1878 at Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Son of Charles Cunningham& Mary Elizabeth Robinson
but nothing else, no death, census appearance in parental home, marriage.
We do have census records showing a son Herbert in the family home, but NO bp or birth
1881 aged 5 http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca...e008207954.jpg
1891 aged 14, apprentice baker http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca...8175-00276.jpg
1901 can’t find him
1909 marriage - 24 Jul 1909 at Toronto, York, Ontario Herbert Cunningham Age: 36 Birth Year (Estimated): 1873 Son of Charles Cunningham & Mary Elizt Robertson
Married Julia Mcuen Age: 40 Birth Year (Estimated): 1869 Daughter of William Mcuen & Mary Barrett
1911 can’t find OUR couple I think the following is for a different pair
1914 death 26 Aug 1914 at Toronto, York, Ontario Herbert Cunningham Age: 41 Birth Year (Estimated): 1873 Son of Chas. Cunningham & Mary Robinson
I wonder if Edgar & Herbert could be the same?? (rounded his age up slightly when marrying) whilst Jeff thinks there were probably two boys. He has searched resources in his local library but cannot find a death or burial for baby Edgar nor a birth for Herbert.
Opinions and help, please.
