I did a fair bit of tracing on the Heron line cos my romanies were Grays and Smiths of Lincs and they did a lot of intermarrying with the Herons etc. So I have a fair bit on this family....
According to the Heron Pedigree
Edward (Snr) Heron was the son of Richard Heron and Devit "Bonny" which I cant prove.
He was reputedly born about 1795 in Cambridgeshire, which fits, but it does remain unproven. His reputed siblings were:
Solivaino (married Wesson Heron)
Robert "The Lame Man" (unmarried)
Lusha (married Sarah Boss daughter of Leshi and Seni) who was transported.
Sarah (married John Buckland)
Reynolds (married Martha "Peggy" Boss"
Sophia (married Seki Boswell)
William "The Handsome Man" (married 1)Mary and 2)Polovene)
Edward "Naibai" Heron (married 1) Siberensi "Greenleaf" or "Kidney" Buckland 2) Sinfai Buckland 3)Rachel Lee)
and Rachel "Sibereti" "Fat Girl" (Married John/Jack Baker or Brown)
Using the IGI (
www.familysearch.org) and Ancestry.coms census info, Ive managed to find children of Reynolds and Martha "Peggy" Boss and the family of Rachel and John/Jack Baker or Brown that fit this timeframe.
Moving on to Edwards family:
Reputedly of Edward and Siberensi Buckland:
Manful (Married Stari Boss)
Edmund (married 1)Christiana Smith married 2)Jemima Smith married 3) Anis Smith)
Humphrey
Proven of Edward and Siberensi:
Eldenham Heron c.1813 Easton Warwickshire.
Reputedly of Edward and Sinfai Buckland:
Reynolds c.1819 Moulton Lincs
Joshu
Tudlin
Gui
Isaac c.1824 Sutterton Lincs (married Sinfai Gray d/o Oseri) d.1911 Sutton on Trent and reputedly buried Crossgates, Leeds, Yorks.
It has only JUST occurred to me that Eldenham Heron bapt 1813 EASTON Warwicks is probably actually the younger Edward....!!!onto that younger Edward.....
