EDLINS in Leics.

[midmum]

Hi again,

just to say that i didn't say I couldn't find any Edlin MIs at Denton but there was a large pile of stones removed to the side. There were Wings and Scoffields though, lots of them, may be yours Diana? Have sent you the ones from Woolsthorpe.

Some more bits'n'pieces on more recent Edlins.  Ref reply 79; Robert Percy EDLIN (who would, I guess, be 20.1.2.1.1 on David's hostory document) married Rose Annie POUGHER on 25th November 1914 at The parish Church in the Parish of The Martyrs in the County Borough of Leicester.  Both bride and groom gave their address as 43 Harrow Road - was this usual, at that time?

Groom's father John (who would be 20.1.2.1) was a Yarn Agent; groom was a Dyer.  Interestingly, this event was a mere 5 months before their first child (my mother) was born.

Which leads me to a couple of questions on the family chart:

OK, sorry, finger trouble.  Inadvertant posting of last comment.  Should have continued:

*   Robert Edlin (21 - b 9 Feb 1740) appears to be out of wedlock, as father John (b 8 Feb 1707) married Martha Todd in April 1740.  Am I interpeting correctly?

*  20.1 has Edward EDLIN (b 2 Feb 1809) marrying Susannah Chapman from Pickwell in Lincolnshire.  I can only find a Pickwell in Leicestershire, not too far from the Croxton Kerrial area.  can someone clarify the source for her?

Many thanks, and intending to post this time!

1) You have forgotten that back in 1740 the year started at the end of March and so Feb 1740 is ten months after April 1840.

2)  Pickwell Lincs may well just be an error.  I am confused when I try to chase that entry.

3) The addresses in Harrow Road may well have been a convenience for one or both of them so that they only had to pay for banns to be called in one church.   This was fairly common.

Hi,

The date of the marriage between Robert EDLIN and Martha TODD 7 April 1740 is actually ten months before the christening of their son Robert 9 February 1740.  The dates are as they were written in the parish register and so are according to the Julian Calendar which had the 25 March as the first day of the year.  Sorry to have confused you Paja, but I don't really like double dating, I find it more confusing than coping with the dates as they were wrttten.

By the way be careful about the numbering of the sections in my document. When I combined the two documents I retained the old numbering and in doing so created two section 20s.  I intend to do some minimal renumbering on the second page.

Susannah Chapman was definitely born in Leicestershire according to the 1841 census.

Where in Leics do you have Susannah Chapman born?  I only ask, as the IGI has a Susanna Chapman (parents Johannis and Priscillae, no less!) born 16 Nov 1806 at PickWORTH, Lincs, which is only a dozen or so miles from Croxton Kerrial.

Hi everyone,

You will remember that Midmum found a marriage entry on her CD of Leicestershire marriages for John BORRAS and Eleanor EDLIN 9 July 1821 at Knipton. This weekend I have finally got round to doing a bit of investigation on this. 

There is an Eleanor EDLIN in my family christened at Great Gonerby, Lincolnshire 15 June 1796 the daughter of Bartholomew EDLIN and Elizabeth DOUBLEDAY.  On the 1851 census for Great Gonerby I found Eleanor BURROWS aged 54 born Great Gonerby with her husband John aged 56 and two children William 23 and Elina 14.  At Great Gonerby in 1861 John and Helena BURROWS both aged 69 (she born at Great Gonerby) with a grandson John aged 12. Eleanor BURROWS was buried at Great Gonerby 7 September 1870 aged 75.  I haven’t found a burial for John BURROWS.  Subject to a look at the parish registers in Lincoln Archive (which I hope to be able to do tomorrow) I think this is ‘our’ Eleanor EDLIN.  John BURROWS was born at either North Kyme or South Kyme so I will check his baptism too.

If you would like me to while I am in Lincoln I can check out the IGI entry Paja has found for the baptism of Susanna CHAPMAN 16 Nov 1806 Pickworth, Lincs.

Hello all,
have been pondering the question put by Diama re the connection  between the two trees.
Could John Edlin(died 1760) have married Ann Scoffield first and then Martha Todd. From the note it appears Ann died the following year, maybe in childbirth? Or do you have info that makes a definite distinction? I note the different birth years for John but ages can change, I mean I am still 21! Also there could have been a John that died whose death we haven't got.
Probably the wrong tack now I have typed it in but will post anyway.
Best wishes Heather
