We have Albert ELAND here - gallery/image_page.php?album_id=52&image_id=446

and on BCC we have Albert EDWARD here - http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... ver=338652

I have just noticed a comment added by Harald Wolf in 2012 (unfortunately I dont get notified of any comments added)

He says...

Albert Eland Sidaway
b 1858 - Rowley Regis
d 02 Feb 1922 - Oakleigh, High St., Old Hill, Staffordshire
Albert Eland Sidaway ran the British Oak pub in Old Hill High Street, at the bottom of Garratt's Lane and built a house opposite, Oakleigh.
F: Elijah Sidaway (1827-1910)
M: Ann Maria Barnsley

Mary Ann Foley
b abt 1864
d 25 Sep 1946
F: John Foley

Children:
Edith S.M. Sidaway -> Scriven
Albert John Sidaway
John Foley Sidaway (executor of Albert's estate of £31,743)
Emily F. Sidaway

It all fits except for his middle name

(Looked up by Rockyfowler)
Marriage 8th Jan 1888 Blackheath Parish Church
Albert Edward Sidaway 27 Bach Saddler Blackheath Elijah Sidaway Cow Keeper
Mary Ann Green 24 Spin Blackheath John Foley Victualler
after Banns
Wit: Albert CHapman/Sarah Foley
all signed

Do we need to have this marriage re-checked?

I would ignore the Eland and go with Albert Edward,
I will try and see what I can find, having trouble with my P C, needs reformatting. Having to use my smartie.

..but it says ELAND on the headstone Jimmy

still think it's worth getting this checked out...

It also says Eland in the probate and 1911census could be just he changed his middle name.

Checked it has edward but scribbled above is Eland wrote on later not officially

1888 is the first use of Eland in a trade directory, there are 11 entries altogether on Ancestry.

First name(s) ALBERT ELON

Note: Albert signs his name Albert ELAND

You Say 'Tomato', I say 'Tomato'...

Lets call the whole thing off

So do we agree it's the same one?
