    3. Edwin F. Winterburn b. March 1871, Chicago, Cook Co., Ill. d. Aftrer 1954 (the last time that he appeared on the California Voter Registration) Married Eliza M. Hughes 16 June 1897 in Cook Co, Ill. she died 20 Dec. 152 Los Angeles. Also appearing on the Calif. Voter Registration List is: Mrs. Annie R., Edwin J., and Elmer E. Winterburn, all residing at 1775 Casa Grande St. Edwin appears on the 1920, 1930 Los Angeles Census. Edwin is the son of Edwin Winterburn b ca 1826 England d. 16 May 1901 Chicago, Ill. m. (2) Anna Smith probably in Cook Co., Ill. issue: Sarah b. ca 1862 Ill. Edwin F., as above William A. June 1875 Ill., died there 28 June 1927. Here is where there is a conflict: In Philadelphia, Pa. there is an Edwin Winterborne b. Sept. 1826 Oxford, England. m (1) Catherine Boyer who died in Philadelphia 19 Dec 1891 They had one son, Charles Boyer Winterborne b. Oct. 1856 Philadelphia D. Feb. 1920 in Brooklyn, Kings Co, NY m. (1) Louisa B. Pierce 06 Mar. 1879 Philadelphia M. (2) Emma b ca 1905, b. ca 1862 Canada. In the early 1860's Edwin of Philadelphia abandoned his wife and son Charles. Later (no date known) he wrote his wife in Phila and asked for money to come home, that he had been "shangheid to the S. Pacific". She wrote to him and told him to find the same way home that he found to leave". He didn't return that is known and she declared him dead in 1889. My theory is that he do was dodging a Civil War Draft. The family in Chicago spell the surname Winterburn consistently. The family in Philadelphia spell it Winterborne consistently. A Bigamist who hid to avoid serving in the Civil War or even a more ominous reason? Deanna Smith
