Title: EDDLES / LEE family
Post by: Amanda134 on Monday 04 August 08 19:51 BST (UK)
Hi

I am looking for any info on the EDDLES / LEE family of Torquay, Newton Abbot and St Mary Church.

This is unfortunately all I have at present.

William James EDDLES born 1868 St Mary Church to Alfred Richard EDDLES and Caroline LEE. Alfred might have been known as Richard? He was born 1847 Bisley, Gloucester while Caroline was born 1848 St Mary Church. Alfred was a Stone Mason. I believe one of the Eddles brothers built a church in Torquay or St Mary Church?
William James EDDLES died in 1913 Simonstown,South Africa.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Amanda

I have this baptism in my Torquay database:-

born:-   -   , baptised:-   14 August 1867   ,    William James   EDDLES   ,    child of:-   Richard & Caroline   of:-   -   , fathers occupation:-   grocer   , notes:-      , Where:-   St Marychurch                                       
Not sure of relationships but I also have these burials:-
EDDLES   Arthur Thomas   was buried:-   29 March 1884   age:-   5m   notes/address:-   Petitor Road   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   Edith Annie   was buried:-   23 February 1871   age:-   7w   notes/address:-   St Mary Church   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   Ellen Mary   was buried:-   08 January 1887   age:-   6w   notes/address:-   Fore Street   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   Julia   was buried:-   03 October 1875   age:-   2   notes/address:-   St Mary Church   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   Rhoda   was buried:-   07 April 1898   age:-   75   notes/address:-   St Mary Church   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   Sydney   was buried:-   11 April 1875   age:-   6m   notes/address:-   St Mary Church   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   William   was buried:-   01 July 1880   age:-   60   notes/address:-   Petitor Road, St Mary Church   where:-   St Marychurch         
EDDLES   William Arthur   was buried:-   16 February 1879   age:-   6w   notes/address:-   St Mary Church   where:-   St Marychurch      

This looks like Carolines baptism:-
born:-   -   , baptised:-   05 November 1845   ,    Caroline   LEE   ,    child of:-   James & Elizabeth   of:-   -   , fathers occupation:-   quarryman   , notes:-      , Where:-   St Marychurch                                       

and siblings

born:-   -   , baptised:-   24 January 1849   ,    Edward Stabb   LEE   ,    child of:-   James & Elizabeth   of:-   -   , fathers occupation:-   labourer   , notes:-      , Where:-   St Marychurch                                       
born:-   -   , baptised:-   30 May 1850   ,    Eliza Jane   LEE   ,    child of:-   James & Elizabeth   of:-   -   , fathers occupation:-   baker   , notes:-      , Where:-   St Marychurch                                       
born:-   -   , baptised:-   03 May 1853   ,    Elizabeth Piller   LEE   ,    child of:-   James & Elizabeth   of:-   -   , fathers occupation:-   baker   , notes:-      , Where:-   St Marychurch                                       
born:-   -   , baptised:-   01 March 1844   ,    George John   LEE   ,    child of:-   James & Elizabeth   of:-   -   , fathers occupation:-   labour   , notes:-      , Where:-   St Marychurch                                       

Will check into the church building story- I do remember an EDDLES who owned a bakery in Torquay.

WOW again!

Thanks so much to you both.

I do remember there is a "Baker" connection, but I am not sure who it was?

A HUGE thanks again.

Hi

I just did a search on Eddles. I was born in South Africa but have lived in London for most of the last 18 years. My mother's maiden name was Shirley Eddles and she talked of the British Eddles family owning bakeries.

Hello all

I am interested in the Eddles connection to bakeries in the Torquay area.

My relative, Ella Ellis (b 1898 in Staverton, Devon) married Claude Eddles (b 1895).  Ella went to Bloemfontein, South Africa in 1912 and lived there until the 1920s.  Her father William Ellis (a baker by profession) died out there in 1918. 

I can't find any record of Claude's birth in the UK nor can I find him on a census.  But have found his death in the Newton Abbot area in 1950.  Also, can't find a record of his marriage in the UK - I presume he married Ella in South Africa.

Have found record of 'Eddles & Ellis Bakers' - with 3 shops in Torquay in the 1930s.  The 'Ellis' half of the partnership was William Owen Ellis, brother of Ella.

Any further information gratefully received :)

Hi

My mother was one of the Bloemfontein Eddles family. Her brother Clive Eddles
still lives there. He was born in the thirties and will potentially know more about this.

Hello

Thanks for that.  If your uncle has any knowledge of the Eddles family in South Africa (particularly Bloemfontein) I would be very interested to hear it.

Hi All!

Sorry to revive what appears to be an old thread but I stumbled upon this site while doing research into the Eddles surname.

My mother is an Eddles from Bloefontein. Her father was Sydney James Eddles (1912 - 1991) and her grandfather was Edward Stabb Eddles.

I have a copy of Edward Stabb Eddles death certificate and it states that his father was Richard Eddles and his mother Caroline Lee. I believe that Richards parents were William and Rhoda. Am I correct? Has anyone managed to go further back at all? Would love to get as much info as possible :)

 Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Craig

Hi there - My mothers maiden name was Glenda Eddles from Bloem! Your mom and mine are cousins I believe :)
