The Naughty Nina Saga is back on the road.
OK folks, can you possibly help with the search for Naughty Nina?

If you remember - the story began with:
Name: Muriel Edith ????? - aka Muriel Mercia Payne. (MY mother - Nina's daughter)
Born: 27th May 1913

Now this (below) is the lady that we now suspect is 'our' Nina. Here's what we know about her.

Name: Muriel Edith Edmed
Born: 1891 in Cairo Egypt.

Father: Frederick William Edmed
Born: 1863

Mother: Mary E. Edmed
Born: 1869


Any help that you can give, or details you can find will be really appreciated. Who knows - there just MAY be some long lost and hitherto unheard of relatives around somewhere!

New details!! I would love to hear the details on how you guys made the discovery of her parents, the last thing I read was that she appeared from nowhere and disappeared just as suddenly.

Edmed is an Arab/Egyptian surname? It does sort of sound it.

Congrats on the breakthrough Carole!!!

Very Happy

James..

To be honest, we tried several possibilities given to us from various people...Trish, Marisa and some others on rootschat. Basically, I went through the possibilities and found all the marriage, birth, death certificates I could find on the families to see which one made the most sense.

Thanks for posting those details Nuccia - and the NN Saga 'so far' Cathy...

It was in fact this entry shown by Nuccia from the 1901 Census that set the curiosity bells ringing. The names Frederick and Muriel were repeating themselves in each generation. Of course my mother was always called Muriel (Mercia), but her birth certificate (when she finally got it) showed her as Muriel Edith too!

I am writing this from my FHC. The microfilm reader attached to the printer/scanner is in use and the only other reader for Italian films is broken Evil or Very Mad I am looking through what is available here since I can't do my research and I see there are british censuses here by region. Do you need me to look through those for Nina? If so can you give me an idea of where and when? Thanks.
