Try Edward F. Lavender....I think we found something that would have made him working at the age of late 60s that would be consistant. Military date 1915 ish
Started in on it as I came in from the local park with dog. Weather perfect.
Then there is Yahoo best answers. Giving a Sir Edward F Lavender as the British Consul in Kenya 1961. If this is accurate, it adds one more thing to the certificate.
A veritable maze which defies much speculation so far. There are an absolute raft of Edward F Lavenders on Ancestry. Com. There is even one on the Commonwealth Graves Registry, but when I went to it, the name was not in the detailed index.
One has to try not to be paranoid here. (A few chuckles from me).
