Narrative
Notes for EDWIN PRESS:
Apparently Edwin Press must have emigrated to Australia after his wife Ann died and was buried in
Burnham, Somerset. She was buried 23 May 1883 at the age of 63 years. Edwin & wife are shown in
the 1881 Burnham census, although his age is shown incorrectly as 66 years. His wife was shown as
Fanny Press, age 60 years, & born in Huntspill. I estimate that Edwin emigrated between 1883 to 1885
to Australia.
According to the Kate Press E mail to Roy Eugene Nicholas, dated 29 June 2003, a Headstone in
Melbourne General Cemetery shows Edwin Press, father of Henry, died 29 Dec 1893, age 72 years.
In the same E mail is the mention of a Melbourne Newspaper notice - the Argus. "Sat 30th Dec 1893
Pilot Edwin died 28th at Portsea (near Sorrento), Port Philip Bay, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia".
Apparently there is also a memorial to Edwin in St. Andrews church, Burnham.
