Surname EDRUPT pre 1800

[Aaroned]

I'm trying to trace back the surname Edrupt in St Neots, Huntingdonshire.

I've currently traced back my genealogy to a William Edrupt (Edrop) (b. 1744) married 1774 to Mary Maling (b. 1745) who lived and raised their family in Carlton, Cambridgeshire.

However I've found earlier death records of four people with the surname Edrupt in St Neots; Moses (d. 1776), Ann (d. 1781), Elizabeth (d. 1784) and Mary (d. 1786).

Does anyone know of any connections between the Edrupt family in St Neots and Edrupt family in Cambridgeshire? Or any more information on the four individuals listed above?

Note some possible different spellings of the surname might be Edrop, Edropp, Edropp, Edrrupe, Edrup, Edrupp, Ederup.

Interestingly I don't seem to be able to find any records in Huntingonshire for any of these surnames after 1787.

There's a marriage of a Moses Edrop (of St Neots) to Ann Bone at Eynesbury in 1769. Transcript on FindMyPast doesn't give actual date. Could be your Moses and Ann burials

I've found the baptism of a Barron Edrop s/o John and Mary at Eaton Socon on on 11 Sep 1761
Eynesbury not far from Eaton Socon

Interestingly I don't seem to be able to find any records in Huntingonshire for any of these surnames after 1787. 

That might just be because later records aren't on line.

There are later ones for that surname and variant around Potton and sandy, not very far from St Neots.
Have you found baptisms for your William and Mary nee Maling, or are approx birth years from age at death?

There are several items at Cambs/Hunts Archives. I didn't check all spelling variants, but for Edroppe there were:

Edroppe, Elizabeth St.Neots: probate inventory 1627
Edroppe, John St.Neots: probate inventory 1627

For Edrop there are half a dozen more items, wills and inventories.

The only William E I can find born about the right time was one in Sandy, Beds 25 May 1751 s/o John and Mercy. They had two previous Williams, who I presume must have died.
I found an apprenticeship record which may be him in 1765, apprenticed to a butcher in Potton.

Thank you all for your excellent information and sources 

Yes the William Edrop born 1746 in Sandy, Bedfordshire does look very interesting. I'll keep digging into that area.

William/Mary married 7 June 1774 in London.

FreeREG has childrens bapts but seem to be a gap between William Maling EDROP 1775 and SUSAN 1785 and last child was CHARLES 1789
(bapts Carlton cum Willingham)

Its also a bit confusing as there is a Burial of WILLIAM 19 Nov 1777 son of WM/MARY

Trees have William/Mary having a Son William 1784 who married Lydia DARKING 1812 Suffolk
(entry on FreeREG has William of Brinkley)

Cant see a bapt for him c 1784 or Burial 1826 as Trees have.
There is one 1826 but he was born 1800

Lydia remarried 1832
