Richard Edwards + Elizabeth REDRUTH CORNWALL Help Please

[juliaanna1701]

Found Elizabeth and Patience EDWARDS in the 1841 Census living with Andrew and Mary CHAPEL.
Piece: HO107/143/17 Place: Penwith -Cornwall, Redruth, E D: 10
Folio: 10 Page: 13 Address: West End
Elizabeth is listed as a dressmaker. Their ages are 20 and 10. These ages fit the bpt dates on page 1 of this thread.
So we have accounted for the entire family.
Also at this address is Mary JOHNS, dressmaker aged 20. She becomes Elizabeth's sister in law.

Oh - and the mother of the siblings, including RICHARD HENRY EDWARDS is ELIZABETH JOHNS - connection?

Great find Spike!

Now the question is - is the birth records I have found for RICHARD EDWARDS + ELIZABETH JOHNS the rights ones, even with their age, or did I miss some others? It would be fantastic to go back as far as I could with this line, as my last name is EDWARDS and my father would be thrilled!

Elizabeth EDWARDS married Edwin JOHNS on 30th August 1846. There is a copy of the marriage certificate attached to a tree on Ancestry. The marriage is on FreeBDM as Sept 1846.
The certificate gives her age as 26 (Edwin is 27) or 1820 so that fits again. Her father is Richard EDWARDS, miner.
His is Bennett JOHNS, miner.
Edwin dies 4th Jul 1855, aged 36.

There were a lot of JOHNS in Cornwall. I have different lines in my tree.

I think had there been any other living children they would have turned up by now.
