Edgar Wallace (1875–1932)
Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace eða bara Edgar Wallace eins og hann kallaði sig var enskur rithöfundur, blaðamaður og handritshöfundur sem skrifaði 175 skáldsögur, 24 leikrit og fjölda greina í blöð og tímarit. Þá er búið að gera vel á annað hundruð kvikmyndir eftir sögum hans og er enn að bætast við þá tölu. Munu það vera fleiri kvikmyndir en gerðar hafa verið eftir sögum nokkurs annars höfundar. Til marks um vinsældir hans, þá vildi einn útgefandi bóka hans meina að fjórðungur allra bóka sem lesnar voru á Englandi á þriðja áratug 20. aldar væru eftir hann. Í dag er Wallace kannski helst kunnur fyrir að hafa í samvinnu við Draycott Dell skrifað handritið að fyrstu kvikmyndinni um King Kong sem og smásöguna sem handritið og síðar skáldsagan byggir á. Með þekktum bókum eftir Wallace má nefna The Four Just Men, The Ringer og The Door with the Seven Locks (Dyrnar með lásunum sjö). Edgar Wallace fæddist í London 1. apríl árið 1875. Foreldrar hans voru leikarar, Richard Horatio Edgar (sem vissi reyndar aldrei af tilvist hans) og Mary Jane Blair. Mary hafði misst mann sinn árið 1868 og átti eina dóttur fyrir þegar hún varð ófrísk af Edgar eiginlega fyrir slysni. Störfuðu þau Richard bæði hjá sama leikflokki sem rekinn var af móður Richards. Til að forðast hneyksli lét Mary engan vita af óléttunni og fékk leyfi um tíma frá hópnum til að geta eignast barnið í kyrrþey. Bað hún ljósmóðurina sem stundaði hana að finna fyrir sig fólk sem væri tilbúið að fóstra soninn strax eftir fæðingu gegn greiðslum. -
Researching and Sharing Edgar Family History No. 55, August 2011
EEddggaarr EEvveennttss Researching and sharing Edgar family history No. 55, August 2011 DNA Update by James Edgar ([email protected]) We have four tests waiting in the wings... The first is for Richard Edgar of Alexandria, Virginia. Richard is keen on discovering his Haplotype and has sent his swabs away for analysis already. His name came to us through Jennifer Edgar Cann of South Carolina. The second test is for Terry Edgar of Glengowrie, Adelaide, Australia. We suspect he’s related to my group as an I1, but we’ll let the test results prove his lineage. Terry is Adrian Edgar’s younger brother, who we’ve been in conversation with for the past few months. Both brothers descend from the same line as Peter Edgar, of Canberra, Australia, who has been in our family group almost since the beginning – he is one of the earlier testers. This is from one of Peter’s emails of a few years back: I trace my descent through my father Don, his father Richard, his father Hugh and his father John Edgar (known as ‘McPherson’ Edgar, I don’t know why). John ‘McPherson’ Edgar came to South Australia (Adelaide) in 1848 aged 20, a Scottish labourer. He died in 1893, a well respected pioneer. (The British Colony of SA was established only in 1836). After early years at Glen Osmond (now an Adelaide suburb), he had earned a living as a dairyman and the owner/operator of a small shop, owning three adjoining properties in Halifax St, Adelaide. His last years were spent working as a brewer. -
