Hello, may name is Sam and Edward was my 2nd Great granduncle and I would love to know if there is any more information on him. Absolutely anything at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

Reply from LNW: Hi Sam, give me a day or two to see what we have on him. We have a small booklet on the Village School so he is bound to be mentioned in there as a minimum. In the meantime, do you have any other photos of him?

UPDATE: Sam, I have sent you a lot more information via email. Lewis
