(Year of Registration: 1891; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: Islington; County: Greater London, London, Middlesex; Volume: 1b; Page: 413.)

Edgar was born on 29th July,1881 North London,England. His mother was Clara Jane Jones from Builth,Wales.On his birth certificate his Father is named as Lennard Marselle - Waiter. Edgar's sibling Geoffrey Owen Marselle was born when Edgar was four years and two months old. On Geoffrey's birth certificate there is a different spelling of the father's name (Leonard Marselle) who was then a journeyman baker. There is no record of a marriage between Clara Jane and Leonard.
Clara worked as an Office cleaner,sometimes as a cook at various restaurants. In 1901 her last regular place of employment was as pantry maid at Thomas Wallis and Co Drapers.Holborn Circus. In 1901 she lost this position due to the bad behaviour of Edgar who played truant from school and slept out at night. Clara was called to the schoolboard and lost worktime by searching for Edgar at night. In November 1900 Clara asked for her children to be removed from her care as she had been pawning,selling and borrowing and could no longer provide for them. She had been living on Parish relief which was to be cut off. Clara stated that she was expected to enter the "Workhouse" Geoffrey however was left in her care for a few more years.
Edgar at the tender age of 9 years and 3 months was admitted to Barnardo"s Homes on 23rd.November 1900. He is described as almost four feet tall with fair hair and brown eyes. He weighed 51lbs. and had some sores on his chin. He and Geoffrey had been attending the Royal Free hospital the attendance card being marked "infectious and contagious." Both were being kept home from school. Clara apparently had to lock them in her room as she was away all day until 8 p.m. Clara at that time was earning 2s.6d. a day plus her food and her rent was 3s.3d.per week. Edgar was described as being a particularly nice boy by two sisters who had been trying to help Clara. They had become extremely annoyed with Clara who they said was "ungrateful and persisted in her drinking habits" They were especially anxious for the admittance of Edgar as according to them he was likely to have nothing but the influence of the streets in his training
When Clara's relations heard of her assoc. with Marselle they "Cast her Off" and she had not heard from them for five years.
Edgars relatives Mother Clara Jone (known as Mrs.Marselle) 36 Tempory em. at Hotel Kings Cross. Brother Geoffrey Owen - with mother. Other relatives - not heard of for five years.
