  • Name James Alfred Edgar Allen 
    • Birth Registration for James' Eldest Son James Alexander born 1912 records his mother as Hope Cecilia and father as James Alfred Edgar.
    • James Alfred's death notice recorded him as Elizabeth's only son. Elizabeth in fact had two sons. The second son must therefore have died though I cannot find any record of that. The two sons were:
      - James William Sherman, b. 9 Feb 1883, New Zealand
      - George Alfred Edgar Allen, b. 25 Oct 1884, New Zealand
      James Alfred's age at death, Feb 1927, was recorded as 43 years
      James William would have been 44 in Feb 1927, George Alfred would not have been 43 until Oct 1927.
      I would suspect that James Alfred Edgar is in fact George Alfred Edgar.
