Hello Sandra,

I'm unable to answer your query, but have just been reading some of the details of the murder - gruesome! :eek:

I see that Edith's hanging at Chester gaol was delayed for 4 months as she was pregnant. Maybe the prison archives would be able to help with what happened to the child.

Hi Sandra

Have you tried looking at the Wybunbury parish registers as the Morrey/Coomer families had connections with that parish too?
