Title: William Edwards buried at Melksham
Post by: emeltom on Wednesday 06 January 16 19:37 GMT (UK)
According to the Wiltshire Memorial Inscription Index on FindMyPast Sophia Edwards, wife of William was buried in Melksham in 1830. The same index gives William Edwards, husband of Sophia also buried in Melksham but unfortunately no date is given.

I've tried searching on line but can find nothing. Can anyone help with a date for William's death and possibly his age at death. I know Sophia was born in North Bradley in 1760, daughter of John Willis, but have no information about William at all other than their marriage in North Bradley in 1780.

Thanks in advance,

Emeltom

Hi

Family Search gives his age as 52y at death. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NR49-KZT

The PR also has that age.

Just realised, being on FS you probably have the age at death now  ;D
