Thomas Edwards c1782 Mamble

[gaudengirl]

Hi - I've got back to a Thomas Edwards born c1782 in Mamble area who married an Elizabeth (?) and moved across the border to Shropshire (Clee Hill area) and am now drawing a blank. Would be really pleased if anyone has information on Thomas Edwards, his birth, parents would be wonderful, and who Elizabeth is. Many thanks.

Me again found Thomas's son John married to Maria on 1861 in Bennets End Cainham Shropshire
1871 same address and 1891 Clee Hill   on same page theres lots more Edwards. Will give you more details if you have not got them.

On Ancestry This family are showing on Edwards-Foxall and Cliff-May family trees are you aware of them?

Thanks Jacques! I've managed to get info on the Edwards family following on from this Thomas, ie his descendants, all the way down to my parents, on the Edwards side. I'm stuck with pinning down firm details of this Thomas (and Elizabeth) who is currently the top of my family tree and to see if I can get back further - it simply may not be possible but it's a challenge! Visiting Shropshire and Worcestershire archives prob not practical. I'm in touch with the Cliff tree but will double check the Foxall tree, am aware of the family link. Another website suggests he may be born Bromsgrove. The on-line church/chapel records for Clee Hill 1796-1829 were very useful, and picked up Thomas/ Elizabeth's children's births/baptisms but not details for Thomas/Elizabeth. Don't know if we'll get any further but thanks anyhow for your interest.
