Person:Edgar Peling (1)

Note from Linda Peling Alessio: "Edgar was listed as Eddie in the new 1881 Census for Hallowell, Prince Edward Co. I, Linda Alessio, am coming to believe that Edgar's first name may have been Edward, not Edgar as all the family maintain. His marriage certificate of which I have in my possession, also lists Edgar as Edward, but this also lists Edith Blanche as Blanche, when we now know that Edith was her first name as evidenced in her death certificate. According to Morley Jackson, it was common to use your middle name for many times the first name was of someone the parent admired but were not yet deceased; so to avoid confusion, they used their middle names. Sometimes they just prefered it that way. Ed died in his home on Foster Street in Whitesboro, NY. He was also popularly called Ed. This may not have been for Edgar?"
