EDLINS in Leics.

[Missprim]

Hi,

Nice try Midmum but John EDLIN married Anne SCOFFIELD and then someone named Millicent by whom he had three children BUT I have never found the marriage.  I have burials for both ladies.  Sorry to disappoint!!

Hi Diana,
worth a try!
Can you let me know what year and where did the Millicent Edlin die, I will have a look and see if I can find out something.

Hi Heather,

John & Millicent's children are Mary baptised 10 October 1723, Elizabeth 2 March 1728 and Richard 24 January 1730 all at Denton.  Only with the entry for Richard is Millicent's name in the register.  Millicent was buried at Denton 3 January 1744

Hi Diana,
thanks, will have a look and let you know.

Hello,
have just had a look through phillimores for Lincs and Leics but no marriage found. There is a note to say that some pages at Denton for the time frame were stuck together. Also thesearch features dont look for mEllicent as a variant. Will keep my eyes open for it.

Hi all, with reference to Robert Edlin/Elizabeth Allett, it would not be unreasonable to assume that seven children would be from the same parents.
There appears to be some doubt over John, but if you follow the dates it appears as follows: Elizabeth Allett born c1647, married 1676 age c29, Robert  b.1677 ( age c30), Elizabeth b.1679 ( age c32), Richard 1 b.1681 ( age c34), William b1683 ( age c36), Richard 2 b.1686 ( agec39),Jane b. 1688 (agec42), John b.1696(agec50), died 1719 (agec72 ) . kindest regards.

can anyone fit into the  chart the following: John Thomas Edlin b.1862 Leicestershire. Married Sally Eames Harding b. c1858 in Gloostone. They had a daughter, Rose Gertrude Edlin b.1891 Leicestershire, she married James Leonard Seward.

Hi everyone,

I was in Lincoln Archive again yesterday having a look at wills.  I revisited the will of Robert EDLINGE (1672) and have found another one for Richard EDLYNE (1612).  This second one was beyond my capabilities for reading secretary hand so I have arranged for a friend to have a look at it and will pass on the detail as soon as possible.  I could, however make out some of the names and I am reasonably certain he had sons John (his executor though not the eldest son) Richard and Edward and a married daughter named Grace who was living at Billingborough. 

Now to the will I COULD read.  Robert EDLINGE of Denton, shepherd. After the usual preamble about leaving his soul to God and his body to be decently buried in the churchyard he bequeaths the house in which he is living to his "dearly beloved wife Ann EDLINGE for the term of her natural life" but if she remarried then the house was to go to his son Robert. 

He leaves £5.00 to his daughter Jane QUININGBOROUGH to be paid by son Robert twelve months after the decease or marriage of "my wife Ann". There is also £5.00 left to his other daughter Susanna MARTIN to be paid under the same conditions.  If either daughter does not survive to receive her legacy her husband or children then living are to receive it. 

Robert made his mark and the witnesses who signed the will are Elizabeth WIGHT and John ANDERSON

There is no executor appointed so I presume Robert thought his son Robert would naturally take on this task nor is Robert mentioned except to receive the house after his mother's death or remarriage and to pay his sisters' legacies  If there was any real estate then it must have passed down to son Robert by some other means than the will - which would have been normal practice.

Last night I spent some time looking for marriages for these two daughters but could not find anything.  The IGI has some QUININGBOROUGH baptisms at Grantham in the 1600s which are a little late to be Jane's children but might be pointers to her family of marriage.

It may be completely irrelevant but putting Quiningborough into a2a comes up with a sale of land and two cottages at Swarby  and Crofton by Thomas Quiningborough and others in Sept 1649
