Hi Anne,
I was just wondering do you have the Peasenhall registers? If so, if it is not too much bother, could you look to see if James Edwards was baptised there, as I have no idea where he was born, but with him saying of the parish Peasenhall at his marriage he may have been born there. Going by his age at burial, he would have been born c1786. No worries if you have not got them or don't have time.
