Ernest Joseph Desmond Sadler

[albert73]

[Name removed] was my cousin at 15 Kent Road, Tottenham N15 in 1956 but I had never known the name of his father. His mum was my aunty Wynn. I would like to know the name of my uncle.

Do you know roughly when he was born, Albert?

My uncle died in 1956-7. I recall him being only around 50-years old when he died so his D.o.B would be around 1907. His sister, my mother, had been born 1906.

Sorry, I meant when was your cousin born.

This looks likely for your uncle, though: Ernest J D Sadler died Jul-Sep 1957 Edmonton, age 52. I will check for more info in a sec.

These are the Sadler / Grimes births which come up on the new online GRO birth index:

Herbert Frederick Granville Edmund Sadler Apr-Jun 1900 Docking district
Percy Alexander Henry Gordon Oct-Dec 1902 Docking district
Ernest Joseph Desmond Oct-Dec 1904 Docking district
Madeline Beatrice Alberta Maud Oct-Dec 1906 Edmonton district
Agnes Oct-Dec 1910 Edmonton district

So that confirms that Ernest J D Sadler was your uncle. He married Winifred Parrish in 1947 Edmonton district.

Can I please just check whether the cousin who you mentioned is still alive, or deceased, please, as if he is still alive we need to remove his name from the thread.

Could be something, could be nothing...

There's a birth for a Philip J Sadler, mmn Parish, Q1 1930 Pancras, London.

There's also a will & grant entry for a Philip James Sadler - date of death: 26/09/2013 - on the government's probate search website.

Would this be your cousin, Albert, or am I at crossed wires? (Quite possible!)

Yes. I think he is one of a number of secret cousins. I have been trying to get to the bottom of some nagging questions surrounding my family for many years.

There is a Sadler / Parish marriage in 1929 in Lambeth, though, James. (Edward J Sadler / Adelaide V Parish). And Ernest and Winifred didn't get married till 1947. So I doubt that Philip is connected.

I recall being taken to Lambeth to visit aunts and uncles just after the war ended.
