Shropshire / Re: Family Edge / Thomas Ellesmere 1771

Have you managed to resolve your query?
'Just checked my Edge's Around North Shropshire database. I have several dozen Thomas Edges but, apart from a Thomas Edge b "Shropshire" abt 1771, their birth dates don't closely match. Thomas is recorded on the 1841 Ellesmere, District 11, Census. He isn't one of my Edge family.
There are many other Edges in District 11 in 1841 including an Ambrose Edge. Whilst Thomas & Ambrose may not be related a (probably incorrect) thought comes to mind. Ambrose was a common Edge name across the Welsh border in Hamner. Hanmer I recall was within the Ellesmere Poor Law Union. As a long shot should you consider looking at Hanmer records?
'Hope that helps.
