Have been checking about the name Ebenezer. It is a Hebrew name and mentioned 3 times in the Bible as well as being made famous by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge. It relates to a stone raised by the prophet Samuel in memory of the defeat of the Philistines, Samuel 7:11-12. Very often it is given a meaning of "stone of help" or a "foundation of stone". There is an Ebenezer society in Germany and numerous chapels so named worldwide. There is also a hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" which contains the lines "here I raise mine Ebenezer, hither by thy help...".
If I may continue this digression briefly, there is also the wonderful Welsh hymn tune Ebenzer with the unique and haunting triplet rhythm in a minor key. It used to be used for a wonderful hymn beginning "Who is this with garments gory". See http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/w/i/t/witwgory.htmRob
"Come thou fount of every blessing" was I believe the original hymn for which Thomas John Williams composed the tune "Ebenezer" around the beginning of the last century. They certainly still used together today in some traditional non-conformist churches.

I am looking for some information on a George Edlin whom married a Elizabeth fountain in Lincoln back in 1760, I am of the belief that he is the brother of Henry Edlin of the notts Edlin's that i have been looking into but have researched their roots back into lincolnshire (conningsby).
Have had a reply back from David who believes George may have a connection in London?? But was wondering if anyone has come across the above during there research.
Cheers, John

Ignore my London remark. I made that before you mentioned the Lincolnshire connection. Although there are links between the Notts Edlins and Lincolnshire and the Leicestershire Edlins and Lincolnshire I don't think anyone has yet managed to link the two groups.
However there is a suffient number people interested in this name for a few clues to be sufficient to make this step.

David,
Hopefully soon we may be able to link the Edlin's together, I have managed to trace the notts Edlin's back to conningsby with some help. 
So yes it would be nice to link all the Edlin's of the midlands together.

I came across the following quote in: "Whetstone Lane Lock." (from My Page Two by Tim Airey)
On the right Fred Edlin operated a heavy haulage firm before the war (and, for a short time, after). During the war the complex of sheds and garages was taken over by the R.A.F. and became known as the M.U. (maintenance unit). Soon a mountain of crashed aircraft grew, wings fuselages etc.; presumably the unit's job was to cannibalize them for spares.
The business was sold to Pickfords some time after the war. If my memory serves me correctly this in fact was part of the nationalisation of the heavy haulage industry at this time which engulfed many family businesses.
Frederick Alfred Edlin was I think born 1899 son of Elijah Edlin who at one time owned Edlin and Nutt Coal Merchants although I have not managed to precisely sort out who owned what in this coal merchant dynasty.

Hi,
Just having a look for Edlins on PC and seen your entry. My dad worked for Edlins of Blaby at the age of 15 and learnt to drive in their Scammell low loader, registration number ABC 11, he also drove an ERF & trailor CJU 364. Dad then had a break whilst he served in the Navy and returned again in 1947 where he stayed until the end of '49'. He also has some newspaper clippings of Edlins lorries etc.
regards
Bev

I believe the correct title and the reference for the booklet is:
GB 0152 MSS.328/N42 Title "The Story of Robert William Edlin and the Pneumatic Tyre" 1992 Robert Wilfred Edlin.
Unless Robert published more than one booklet.

I don't know if you can still purchase it, but if you google the title you will find lots of places (libraries) which hold copies.

For further information on the Edlin/Dunlop situation, please refer to
http://cyclinghistory.blogspot.com/2009/01/dunlops-pneumatic-tyre-leicester.html
I'm not sure whether the information in this article is taken from the Robert Wilfred Edlin book or not, but I have had no success in exploring further with the blogger.
Hope this helps,
Peter

I have recently extended the line from John Edlin (1580) back as follows:
Richard 1544 married Catherine Cunnans (born 1553)
John 1513 possibly married Emma
William 1490
Does anyone have any views on this?
