| Jul 29, 2015 at 23:49 | comment | added | user3310902 | @ColeValleyGirl In which case, currently the main unexplored avenue is the FO/ CO records? I agree that the DNA is the best shot, but let's not write them off. They may come online at some point. | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 6:19 | comment | added | user104 | @user3310902 The FO and CO records aren't online, but the RT, GRO and some others are -- the research guide to which the OP was pointed is explicit about what is and isn't available on line. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 22:19 | comment | added | user3310902 | @ColeValleyGirl Not sure if this is quite correct. TNA's response quoted above includes link which refers to "Records of overseas births, marriages and deaths from the Foreign Office and Colonial Office (c1820-c1950)" as being unindexed. Are these records available online? If so, where? They are not the same as the GRO records. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 16:18 | comment | added | user104 | As described in the National Archives research guide you link to, some of these records are on line at findmypast.co.uk or ancestry.co.uk. However, the only records at either site for C.Z. Ede relate to his death in China or his probate. It's not clear if paying a UK researcher will move you much further forward. The DNA evidence you already have may be the best evidence you can get. | |

| Jul 27, 2015 at 18:19 | comment | added | user3310902 | We know that there is no mention in the GRO records so I think the most relevant section is part 3: "Records of overseas births, marriages and deaths from the Foreign Office and Colonial Office (c1820-c1950) Consult records of overseas births, marriages and deaths in various FO and CO series. These records are not searchable by name on our catalogue and are held in various record series. Read Tracing your Ancestors in The National Archives by Amanda Bevan (TNA, 2006) to obtain a record reference from a comprehensive list arranged by country." Does anyone have a copy of Bevan? | |
