I don't have a sub at the moment (waiting for a deal) but I just stumbled across something that could well be nothing, but I'm wanting to look into it just to rule it out.
I was doing a search for Edwin Henry Hooker and noticed that a Q4 1907 Edmonton birth for someone of the same name was in the same registration group as a Richard Edwin Wright. Wright was Edwin's mother's maiden name, and as his true parentage has always been in doubt, I simply wondered if it is possible that it is the very same Edwin's son registered under both names. There is a corresponding death for the child in Q1 1909. This would obviously imply that Edwin married under the name Wright and later had a son registered under both names, but of course it could just be a case of the two names being genuine coincidence and totally unrelated to my Edwin. That's very probably the case, but the name understandably stuck out. If anyone would be kind enough to do a cursory look into this I'd be much obliged. This is the best clue I've seen so far, and on the face of it may confirm my theory that Edwin's father was indeed not Henry Hooker, and Edwin grew up under a different name after his disappearance c1891. Any thoughts? EDIT: Oh no, different mmns I think!

Your link doesn't work, because the FreeBMD search data isn't kept. If those had been alternative index entries for the same birth entry, the given names would be the same on both entries.

Ah ok, I didn't realize it would be a timed link. Looks like a non-starter anyway.

There's an image for an Edmonton Q3 1905 marriage/bann of Harry Hooker & Annie Maud Lundy on Ancestry. Would anyone please be able to tell me what age and parents' names/occupations are given?
I'd like to try to rule out Harry if possible. His son Edwin Harry Hooker (b. 1907) died in 1974.

He's 25, bachelor, shop assistant, father James Hooker, carpenter, and James Hooker is one of the witnesses.

There's a Q1 1918 marriage in Shoreditch: Edwin and Lylie Hooker.
I can't find any other reference to this Lylie, so curious who the parents are. Is it a mistake they have the same surname, or...?
