Palmer, Edgar Charles

Edgar was born in Glamorgan, Cardiff in on 3rd January 1902 and was baptised on the 4th April of the same year.

His parents were Isaac and Emma (b 1869) and Edgar’s father died sometime in the early 1900’s. Edgar’s mother married again, to John Lewis (b 1869), on the 19th September 1908 and the marriage Banns show that John was a widower and Emma a widow.

By 1911, the family were living at 79 Habershon Street, Glamorgan and Edgar is shown to have a step brother Godfrey (b1895) and two step sisters – Elsie (b1899) and Hilda (b1901). The census also shows that Edgar has a brother, Clifford, who was possibly his twin.

Edgar married Anne Mary Wesson (date unknown). The address of Edgars ‘Merchant Seaman Death Record’ shows an address of 64 Wentloog Road, Rumney, Cardiff crossed out and replaced with “‘Rusheen’, Riverstown, Co. Sligo, Eire – wife’s address.”

Edgar’s mother and stepfather were still living in Glamorgan in 1939, both aged 70. Edgar left probate of £2251 18s 2d

We can find no other details, nor a connection with Warwick, apart from Edgar’s being remembered at St Mary’s Immaculate Church in West Street. We would welcome any further information from the public.
