Joseph Edwards m Martha Middleton in Bromfield 20 05 1737 they had a son Richard b Clun 1738 Martha was from Clun. Joseph re married 1741 to Mary Clayton. They had four boys Joseph, Thomas, John. and Jeremiah all b Clunbury. I shall look forwardrd to hearing from anyone who may have information on these families.

Hi
If you look at IGI for Shropshire you will also see lots of Edwards over a hundred or so years.
You didn't mention whether you had found the 4 children of Joseph and Mary. These are
their Christening dates just in case.
Joseph c 22nd May 1742 at Clun parents Joseph and Mary
Thomas 29th April 1743
John 13th May 1744
Jeremiah 14th July 1751
There seems to be a large gap between John and Jeremiah so presume they
had children that died at birth or not long after?
You might need a few hours to go through all the Edwards so good luck

Hi both of you and many thanks for your replies - yes I realise that there are lots of Edwards prior to 1812 however it is difficult to establish whether or not they are related. I have Joseph Edwards as b about 1709 but have not been able to access the original parish registers to find his birth and the name of his father. I understand that I would have to go to Shropshire archives to view these as there is no record on line.
I did have the dates for Joseph and Mary's children but thank you anyhow.I am related through Jeremiah who later moved to Bleddfa, Powys
Again many thanks for your response.
