Marriage Notes 




140324:

I believed that Jean Carter Stirling got this marriage wrong. There is no evidence that this Edgar Rendell ever married on19 Nov 1919. It is possible that he did very briefly but that they then separated. However, he was noted to be single on the 1921, 1935 and 1945 Censuses. But then I found his death certificate on Ancestry and reported he was married. It seems that they never divorced but never lived together or did so for a brief time.

Several family trees on Ancestry show that he married Ethel Mary Fox, some saying that it occurred in 1819 and others saying it wasn't until 1950 when she was a widow. But there is no record of such a marriage at either time.
