EDLINS in Leics.

[midmum]

Hello,
I have just looked at the registers for Denton and there is no Quiningborough at all. There is a marriage of a Susanna Martin to Richard Lovet 14 May 1664. Will look at the other parishes tomorrow.

Hi,

Further to Midmum's posting last night.  It looks like the Phillimore transcribers had a sightly differnet interpretation of Anne's name in 1701.  They have it as "WILER" whereas I (and the Mormon's) transcribed it as "WYLS".

William EDLIN and Lucy MOSS are, I believe, part of my branch of the family.  I have census returns for them, baptisms for their children and burials for all.  Sadly none of their children seem to have survived into adulthood.  William appears to be the son of John EDLIN and Jane KIRK baptised at Honington 11 March 1768.  His older brother Bartholomew is my direct ancestor.

It would appear that the Sarah Edlin who married Richard Lowe could well be the  daughter of Robert and Sarah Hutchin.  It is interesting that in the 1851 census her nephew John (son of brother Robert) has an apprentice Cordwainer Robert Lowe.
 
Does anyone have any thoughts about the Richard who married Elizabeth Elitt.  It is interesting to contemplate that she might be related to Elizabeth Allett who married Robert Edlin.

One aside about the varying spellings of Edlin I suppose that most of you realize that the "g" after an "n" in those days was silent and just caused the"n" to be harder and thus the last syllable more dominant.  To sound the g as we do today in words that end in "ing" they added an extra "e" and so the word was written "inge"

Hi,

In my Lincolnshire FHS index Elizabeth's name is ELLIOTT rather than ELLIT. 

I have some MAPLETOFT (parents John & Ann) baptisms at Grantham 1808-1817, John's occupation in the later ones is given as woolcomber.  Interesting as I think some of the earlier EDLIN family at Denton may have been weavers.

Hi Midmum

I've just tried your reference number in Familysearch & guess what!?   I had three marriages appear John MARTIN & Susana EDLIN  and Robt EDLIN & Ann WILER as we already knew but to my surprise there was also

Thomas QUININGBROW & Jane EDLING 2 May 1671 Grantham 

Now I will REALLY have to have another look at Grantham registers.    They were very awkward in my own fiche reader as the pages have been printed sideways on the fiche.  It is a lot easier if you have a reader with a large plate so that the fiche can be placed short ends front and back.

Hello,

I was very surprised to find the qiningbrow marriage because the search engine didn't throw it up, I did a trawl through the batch.

From Phillimores:
Great Gonerby.
Mr Richard Quinborough & Mrs Faith Bayte 15 Nov 1636
Thomas Quininbouro of Grantham & Borothy Kirke of Allington 21 Oct 1703

Have some Edlinson marriages from Addlethorpe as well.

At some point in history wasn't it common for children to take their mothers name as a surname?
