Elizabeth Davey (married Richard Henry Edwards) came back to australia and then back to NZ where they settled - they ended up having fourteen children that survived! First son was Henry Davy Edwards who came back to australia and is my direct ancestor, so I think you are correct on the account that Henry Snr must have died around the time of Martha's birth given MARY ANN remarried so soon afterwards. I'll send you a bell on facebook so if you find anything else in your travels I'd love to here it!
Found Elizabeth and Patience EDWARDS in the 1841 Census living with Andrew and Mary CHAPEL.
Piece: HO107/143/17 Place: Penwith -Cornwall, Redruth, E D: 10
Folio: 10 Page: 13 Address: West End
Elizabeth is listed as a dressmaker. Their ages are 20 and 10. These ages fit the bpt dates on page 1 of this thread.
So we have accounted for the entire family.
Also at this address is Mary JOHNS, dressmaker aged 20. She becomes Elizabeth's sister in law.
And thanks i didn't know i could modify
