[UK Find A Grave Index] {1939} 1939 Register: searched Yorkshire/Sheffield 1939 Register exhaustively (all 44 Yorkshire Chedgzoys listed); NO Edmund b.1880 found - likely a closed/redacted line (co-resident still living) or a poor OCR variant. Revisit. Confirmed present nearby: John Wm #204, Edmund #205, Edmund #230, and a Montague L Chedgzoy b.1903 (Sheffield, wife Fanny) to identify. {1921 index} RESOLVES the 1939 absence: Edmund #208 IS in the 1921 census, Sheffield (Yorks WR), as HEAD - with wife Fanny (b.~1878) and children Elsie (1901, #762), Montague Leonard (1903, #771), Ruth (1905, #795), Clara (1909, #799), Edmund (1913, #230) and Fanny (1915). So he was alive + heading a large Sheffield family in 1921 (d.1946); he simply was not findable in the 1939 register (closed/variant).
