Edwards born Barbados
« on: Monday 10 May 10 01:03 BST (UK) »
Hi
According to the 1861 and 1871 English Census I have just discovered that my husbands Gt Gt Grandfather John Henry EDWARDS was born in Barbados, West Indies abt 1822. 
I would love to find out what his family was doing over there, and if there were any siblings?  Can anyone help me please.

Regards
Rockydog

Did he marry in England?  A copy of his marriage cert will give his fathers name

Hello Carole
Thanks so much for getting back so quickly.  Yes, he did marry in England on 28 Aug 1853, St Lawrence, Winchester, Hampshire to Eliza Tatner.  This info I got from Family Search.  Also his father is listed as John Henry EDWARDS but no occupation given.  I might have to order the marriage certificate.

I think this must be his birth details on IGI too.

I was hoping someone might be connected??  Long shot.

Once again thanks for your help.
Regards
Carol

Oh this looks great Carole, as my husbands grandfather had ROSS as one of his middle names, so this would explain it.  Will have to check it out.  Thanks so much for finding this one.  Also the year of marriage ties in with his dob.
Am off to see what else I can find.  Thank you, thank you.  I knew someone out there would find something else that I hadn't thought of.

Take care
Carol
