Notes - There is no name like Edwin Vey born in Westminster in 1876 or thereabouts. Nor is he obvious in the 1881 Census. I wonder if he was born with a different surname and was adopted, but there are too many possibilities.....
At his burial, it was said he was "late of Oxton". The "Work House" is not clear, but it might be the workhouse, on Oxton Rd., near Southwell. There was a Wesleyan minister assisting at the burial.
