Trying to make a connection between my GGrandfather, Charles Forest (?) EDWARDS and Bryan Albert EDWARDS. Several discoveries have led me to believe that these two may have been brothers. Bryan was b. 28 Oct 1896 in Withamsville, OH and died Apr 1968 in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH. He married, I believe, Esther M. Esslair (sp?) who died 19 Dec 1977 with no listing of children. Info off a WW1 Draft Registration recently uncovered showed he lived at 4197 Eastern Ave in Cincinnati in Jun 1918. This same record shows Bryan's father as being John Oliver EDWARDS of same address. I have census records that shows my GGrandfather, Charles living at 4163 Eastern Ave in 1920. Unfortunately, even thought there are simularities, I can't confirm that these two men are related. Anyone with similar relations, I would LOVE to hear from you to make a concrete match so I can unravel the mystery of my father's family there in Hamilton/Clermont counties.
Thanks!

Hi Earl-
Thanks! The coincidences are all there...just need to get concrete proof or someone else researching this line to prove that Charles and Bryan Albert are brothers. UGH!! This can be so frustrating at times......
Good luck in your searchs.

The WWI draft card for Charlie Forest Edwards gives his birthdate which is the same as on the 1900 census. (Bless that census taker for including the exact date!) His address also matches that of his brother Bryan.

Hi Sharon-
That is the kind of info I need to make this connection...thank you!! But, my question to you is, where did you find this WW1 Draft Card at? I have access to Ancestry.com and I can't seem to find it. I was able to get a copy of Bryan's card that shows the address of 4197 Eastern Ave, Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH but I can't find one for my GGrandfather, Charles Forest Edwards. If you have access to this card and can email it to me, I'd be most grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sharon-
I FOUND IT!!
Thanks so much...I didn't realize that he was listed as "Charlie Forest" and not "Charles Forest". I've made the CONNECTION!! WOOHOO!! You can't believe how excited I am. To confirm his middle name was indeed FOREST and that Bryan and everyone that I have researched tied to Bryan is related to my GGrandpa. I'm so excited!!
Thanks for putting me on the right track. If there is anything I can do for you out of St. Louis, don't hesitate to drop me a note!!
Thanks!!!

Could the Forest you are looking for be Forsythe? I am a descendent of Peter Perchment by his marrage too Mary Perchment, she was the daughter of Peter and I believe his wifewas Agnes Powel. I would Like to contact People who are looking for the Marshall,Sprague, Kane, and Powel families. My mothers grandfather William Forsythe was the grandson of Hugh forsythe and Mary Perchment. One son went too Ohio, but I cant trace him, he had a daughter that married a Hoover. Mary Elizabeth Forsythe was Peter Perchments grand daughter, She was married tooa Lundberg then married Edward Markward.They were all from Piisburg.

Mary Elizabeth Forsythe was Peter Perchment's GREAT grand-daughter, since her father was William Forsythe, the son of Mary Perchment, the daughter of Peter.
