Warwickshire / Re: warwickshire research
« on: Friday 21 August 09 08:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I don't know whether you can help or not.  Am researching my Edwards family from Warwickshire. My gt.gt.gt.grandfather was born Warwicks (can't find his actual birth place) but he married Monks Kirby 1798 to Mary Lines. His name by the way was William Edwards b 1764.  He had 5 children, 3 of whom I have found information on but the other two I just can't find anything - this is where I need your help.

1.  Sarah Edwards bap 5 May 1805 Monks Kirby, but I can't find any marriage or death.
2.  Marriah Edwards bap 13 July 1807 Harborough Magna again can't find any marriage or death. 

The family all lived in Easenhall Warwickshire.  The other children were Thomas Edwards b 1811 he died 1880, Rebecca Edwards m Edward Constant 1821 2nd marriage to John Barnett in 1875, Rebecca died 1883 Foleshill and William Edwards bap 1799 Harborough Magna he married Sophia Rogers and he died 1883.

Any help you can give is appreciated.

Armed Forces / Re: Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

Hi Kev,

Bit of a problem here, am searching for my gt.gt.uncle Thomas Edwards b 1836 Stretton under Fosse, Warwickshire.  Family legend has it that he may have fought in the Crimea and Indian Mutiny, his brother Jesse went to the USA and fought in the American Civil War in 1861, he was 10 years Thomas' junior b 1846 (I have documented evidence of this).  Thomas appears on the 1911 UK census as an army pensioner, I think he would have been a bit old for the Boer War.  He appears again on the 1871 census 6 years before he got married in 1876.  Would you have any information on any Thomas Edwards - if he did fight in these wars he survived !!

Any help would be gratefully received.
