My Great x3 Half Uncle Edwin (1858 - 1???) was an older half brother of my Great Great Grandfather Walter Boobier (1871 - 1924).
Edwin was born on 30th April 1858, in Tiverton, to William Boobier (about 32), a stone mason, and Emma Boobier (nee Kimmings) (about 32), a laundress.
Edwin was baptised on 1st Dec 1858 in St Peter, Tiverton.
Edwin was the fifth of eight children (six sons and two daughters):
- William Edwin Kimmings 1850 - 1851 (14 months)
- Thomas Philip 1851 - 1907 (55 years old)
- William Donald 1854 - 1855 (about 1 year and half)
- Emma Grace 1855 - 1911 (54 years old)
- Edwin John 1858 - 1???
- William Edwin 1861 -
- Lucy Janet/Jeanette 1863 - 1863 (0 - 3 months)
- George Albert 1864 -
Two of Edwin's older siblings passed away before he was both - both were called William.
In Oct/Nov/Dec, his eldest brother William Edwin Kimmings passed away, aged about fourteen months.
In May 1855, William Donald passed away, aged about thirteen months. He was buried on 17th May 1855, in St Peter in Tiverton.
1861 Census:
In Jan/Feb/Mar 1863, when Edwin was four, his baby sister, Lucy, passed away, aged zero to three months, in Tiverton.
In January 1867, when Edwin was eight, his mother Emma passed away, aged about forty. She was buried on 24th January 1867 in Exeter. Edwin's father remarried the next year. William (about 41) married Jane Mutter (about 30) in May/June 1868.
Edwin had four younger half brothers:
- Robert 1869 -
- Walter 1871 -
- Alfred 1873 -
- Frederick 1874 -
In the mid-late 1860's, Edwin and his family moved from Tiverton to Exeter.
1871 Census:
Despite my best search, I cannot presently find Edwin in any records after the 1871 Census, when he was thirteen. Hopefully I will one day be able to find out more information about his life.
Did he pass away? Move away? Change his name?
