Derek, Thanks for your response. Since Edward (b. abt 1880) and his wife did not name any children William or Jane I assume that the Edward you found is not the same person. Somewhere in my notes I have Edward's father listed as Edward. This seems fairly logical given the names of the children of Edward and his wife Mary Rome(m. 1906): Florence 1908, Mona 1910, Edward 1912, Ernst 1914, Harold Barton 1917 and Lily 1919.
If you have any other ideas I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks again for your help.
