Thoughts from other researchers:
- The Christening of Edward John shows he reached the age of 2 without mishap and it looks like it was Elizabeth who was the unmarried mum. Now I wonder if the little one actually survived or did he die during 1853/54 when Edward John II was born? Or were different parents involved?
