Maj. Edward Denne Nares (1831-1878)

The son of Edward Robert Nares, he was born at Lydd in Kent on 14 April 1831.  He was educated at Tonbridge School and went to Sidney College, Oxford in 1854, matriculating in 1855.  We recently learned of his existence through a record of his will in which it appears that he went into the army, serving with the 97th Regiment, and rose to the rank of Major. 

He lived at 91 Belgrave Road, Middlesex and was married to one Margaret Grace (Boyle?) who died on 27 Jan 1896) but they do not appear to have had any children.  He died at Southall Park, Middx., on 14th Oct 1878.
