I'm trying to trace the birth and family of Edmund Emsley who appears in the following Yorks Evening Post news article in 1952.

I have a couple of entries for the name in my tree listed as grocers in Rawden and other articles/census showing Town Street as the address but nothing for a chap called Edmund who was still around this late. Any help appreciated.

As an aside, nobody is querying him selling a product containing flour over two years old?!!

Next point: might he be an Edward or Edwin?

Well those sell by dayes are a new fangled thing anyway

Yes, it makes sense that's the parents of that Edmund, so assuming that's the same man as in the article.....

Here's his death:


Edmund Eric G Emsley
1920 Nov 1995 York Yorkshire

I looked for a probate entry for him but found nothing.

Another of those strange things in my tree as recently the job has been taking me to Rawdon quite a bit and then I discover the family link there!!


There are two Goulson siblings who marry two Emsley siblings, probate records suggest the foursome named the others in their wills and yesterday I found two death announcements in one news clipping for earlier members of the Emsley family, it seems they died on the same day.
