EDLINS in Leics.

[behindthefrogs]

I have managed to dive into my files and I have come up with the following Hillam references which I currently can't put together in any way.

The  bits and pieces which I have now recovered are as follows:

1)   Mary Edlin’s marriage to William Hillam in 1843
2)   Thomas Bunney Edlin’s marriage to Sarah Hillam in 1852
3)   A Mary (Hillam) Edlin born April 1841 living with William, Thomas Bunney's father in 1841.  (This combines three sources)
4)   A Mary Hillam age 9 living with Thomas Bunney Edin in 1851.

I am not really sure whether I even have these last two recorded properly.

Hello Peter and welcome to our Edlin "family",

I can confirm the following:

1. 1851 census for Croxton Kerrial shows, Thomas Bunney Edlin, Head, 24 Grocer.
                                                                    Sarah Edlin, Sister                33 housekeeper
                                                                    Mary Jane Hillam, Son,(sic)   9 scholar
2. William Edlin who died 1849 was the grocer in Croxton and so TB must have taken over the business on his death

3.Thomas Bunney Edlin married Sarah Hillam 5 Feb 1852.

4.William Hillam married Mary Edlin 30 May 1843 at Croxton Kerrial

5. In 1841 William Edlin at Croxton with wife jane, Mary 28, Sarah 20, Thomas 14,
Ebenezer 10, Mary 1 month.

Hope this helps,
Best wishes Heather

Hi from Downunder,
I would just like to thank everyone for all the research they are doing on the Edlin line. I only wish I could be over there to help in some small way. Maybe Mr. LOTTO will be kind to me one day!!!!
I look forward to putting the PC on in the mornings to see what has been posted, as it would be your evenings on that side of the world.
Once again thankyou all so very much.

Continuing the Mary Jane Hillam or Edlin story.

On freebmd I find Mary Jane Hillam registered Q2 1841 at Grantham (which includes Croxton Kerrial).  This birth could have been in April registered in May.  No birth of a Mary Edlin.

On the IGI I find the baptism of Mary Jane Edlin at Croxton Kerrial 11 June 1841, mother Mary Edlin, no father named.  No baptism of Mary Jane Hillam.

I am coming to the conclusion that there is only one Mary Jane born to Mary Edlin prior to her marriage to William Hillam.

Any thoughts?

Hello,
welcome Annette and good to have you on board. How do you fit into the Edlin tree? Are you a descendent of one of the three brothers who emmigrated to warmer climes?

David, I am unsure. There was a Mary Edlin 18 Aug 1816 daughter of William Edlin and Mary Ashbourne, married William Hillam 30 May 1843.
IGI also shows a Mary Jane Edlin bapt 1 Mar 1840 Croxton kerrial parents Thomas Edlin and Jane.
Mary Edlin bap 19 Nov 1837 to Edward and Susan Edlin Croxton.
These would need to be cross checked with the parish records. Also looked at the "Ebenezer " Ebenezer William Edlin, bap 28 Mar 1830 to William and Jane Edlin.

Does this help or confuse the matter?

I had concluded that the other two Mary's on the IGI were both to William 1798's brothers:

The 1837 one to Edward and Susan Chapman was already on my list

The 1840 one to Thomas and Jane Gray for whom I have no children listed but know that they had a grandson William Odlin in the 1881 census.  I am going to chase this one.

Neither of these quite fit age wise or in terms of stated relationships.

Hi David,
The IgI has a George Edlin bap 7 May 1843 to Thomas Edlin and Jane Gray, Croxton
Elizabeth Edlin bap 4 Oct 1846 at Croxton to Thomas Edlin and Jane Gray

Hi Heather,
Yes I am a descendant of the second brother Thomas Edlin (1836) & Margaret Mason who arrived in NZ aboard the "Robert Small" in 1860.
Talking of warmer climes we have a lovely warm sunny autumn day here today.

Hi Heather,

Do you think the Ann Eliza Edling bapt 28 Oct 1855 is also the child of Thomas and Jane Gray?

My IGI search also revealed another Thomas  married to Anne who had a son John 18 Aug 1849 in CK.  I can't fit them in anywhere.
