Hello: [I am also working on finding all my paternal grandmother EDWARDS's siblings]: Which Edwards family are you looking for ?. [The death notices have awfully little info besides cause of death - no spouse or family requested on the cert, just number of children]: It depends, some of them have a vast amount of information on them too, all the children's names, dates of birth, and where the dead father came from, etc. The scant ones also show a lonely death. My early impression is that these are not complete for the years they cover. I will check this in time. Bart.

Apologies for the delay. I had life get in the way of my hobby. My grandmother was Millicent Edith EDWARDS (16 Oct 1880-16 Jul 1961) and she was one of thirteen siblings. I am trying to find all the siblings. She was married to Walter Oliver HULBERT (5 Oct 1882-14 Aug 1935) Her parents were: William EDWARDS (19 Nov 1852 - 22 Dec 1919, son of Thomas EDWARDS and Mary-Ann KING) who married Fanny MUIR (24 Oct 1859 - 18 Nov 1926, daughter of Rachel KING and William James MUIR) on 15 Jan1880. I have towards the thirteen siblings from these parents (* for firmly known, mostly I knew them personally): * Hilda Effie EDWARDS (married MULLER) died 1958 (other dates anyone?) ??? Jesse Edwards.... tombstone found says 1977-1948, I do NOT know if she fits here * Millicent Edith Edwards (my grandmother, listed above) ??? Elizabeth Helena Edwards ...tombstone found says 1884-1956, I do not know if she fits here * Ethel Mary Ann Edwards (married SUMNER) 1894-1974 ??? Herbert Stanley Edwards b 1885....married Agnes and had son Herbert Stanley Maitland Edwards 14 Oct 1905 * Violet Beatrice Edwards (married John Winter MuUIR) 1887-1929... Confirmed by relatives, I did not meet her. * Hilton David Edwards (married Florence Alice PIPER) 1891-1978 * Ronald Herbert Edwards (married Blanche ELLEN) 1893-1945, I knew Blanche, not Ron. * Daisy Sarah Ann Edwards (married Alexander "Lex" KROPF) b1897..confirmed by relatives, I do not remember her * Cyrl "Boet" Henry Edwards (married Clarice Hazel HARPER) 1901-1963 * William Thomas Edwards (Snr) (married twice NEL/SWANEPOEL)...1906-1977,one of my morer recent finds. SO.... that is 9 confirmed siblings and three possibles towards the thirteen. If anyone can confirm or unconfirm any of the ??? ones or add any missing ones I would be most grateful.
