There was a lil coolie orphan, about 12-14 years old in 1900. The boy was then adopted by an English baker, who gave him his name and learned him his craft. Later on the Indian with the name John Edwards had his own bakery in Waterloo Street, Georgetown, until his death in 1927. With his wife Maria Isaacs (black, white and amerindian) he had four children: Oscar, a journalist, d 1941; Ivan a trade-unionist, drowned in Barbados Easter Sunday 1952; Effi and Wilfred. Does somebody know more about orphans in British Guiana? Or about the English baker Edwards? May be, he adopted more orphans. Because two Indian brothers with a barber shop in Georgetown had a similar family saga. Christel
