KEN, HAD PROB SENDING TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. YOU WERE PUZZLED ABOUT HARVEY EDSER.
Harvey Edser in your notes, son of William and Elizabeth Edser, born 1847/8, is my great-grandfather, a butcher by trade, in the 1891 Census records resident in Abinger Hammer, Surrey. His father, William, descended from a line of FIVE Robert Edser’s going back to Robert Edser or EDSAWE, born round 1675. William’s spouse, Elizabeth, (née EDSER, yes) comes from a sequence of John and Richard EDSER’s dating back to 1685.
This Harvey (Harvey I) seems to be the first one in the family line to have been called Harvey. I have no wedding date for him.
Harvey I had a son (Harvey George) or Harvey II, born July 1873, died Oct? 1959; this Harvey (II) Edser married Alice Mary Page on Boxing Day 1894. He’s my grandfather.
They had a daughter, Rachel, then twin sons, Harvey George (Harvey III - MY DAD) and WILLIAM, born Aug 4, 1898; William died 1900 aged 18 months. After that they had two more sons, and five more daughters.
BEST REGARDS
