Good morning RootsChat members

I have been researching my EDMONDS roots back into the 18th century and I have noted a common name ie. Richard Henry EDMONDS,who died in Prenzance, Cornwall in 1884 [Source 'Find My Past'.

My GGGGrandfather was a Richard Henry EDMONDS b. abt 1790 who married Catherine FURLONG b.  5 April 1793 in Wexford IRE. 

One of their sons, my GGGrandfather, George Gilbert EDMONDS was born in Wexford bet. 1825-1833 and 'came' to Australia on the 'HMS JUNO' in 1857.  It could be possible that he came from or through Cornwall.

George Gilbert EDMONDS  married in Sydney NSW in March 1857 and some 10 years later they moved to Brisbane QLD.  There were 13 children of his marriage to Elizabeth COTTERELL.

GGE died in 1906 and  is buried under a sizeable obelisk at South Brisbane Cemetery near where I now live.

Another son of Richard Henry EDMONDS and Catherine nee FURLONG went to America and I have linked into that connection.

It is a stab in the dark but there may be a connection, somewhere.

Is anyone able to assist?

Thank you

Was the 1790 Richard Henry born in Cornwall?

Cornwall-OPC-Database has a baptism in 1792?
I can give details if neccessary.

Dear KGarrard

I do not have relevant information about the birth of Richard Henry EDMONDS.

He married Catherine FURLONG [b. 5 April 1793 Wexford Town IRE.] abt 1824 probably Wexford.

I have not been able to locate any BMD etc Certificates in Ireland.  According to the Dublin Archives they may have been either burnt or otherwise destroyed.

His son George Gilbert EDMONDS was a a ship's carpenter/crewman and came to Australia on the Government ship 'HMS JUNO' abt 1856.  George Gilbert EDMONDS, my GreatGrandfather.
came to Brisbane abt 1860 and became a building contractor.  He was buried in the South Brisbane Cemetery, near me, in 1906.

Richard Henry EDMONDS could well have come from or through Cornwall. 
I cannot confirm that he was born in Cornwall.

The dates you have mentioned are certainly worth looking at.
