Hi,
I am looking for Edlins in Leicestershire, mainly the Vale of Belvoir area. I have traced back my family definitely to William Edlin, born Croxton Kerrial 1777. There are links to Manchester Edlins also and appears to be a connection to Methodism as some were Local Preachers. Anyone able to help or wish to share information? Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Midmum
I find your introduction very interesting. I recognise your Manchester branch as possibly being directly linked to the three brothers who went to New Zealand, but who were the Methodist preachers?
There are methodists including preachers amongst tha descendents of Edward Edlin born 1809 at Croxton Kerial son of Robert. Have you managed to link this branch of the family back to William 1777? It would be a major step to have the man who invented the pneumatic tyre with Dunlop in one big Leicestershire family.
The other big question of course is if William Ebenezer (1799) was the son of William (1777) who was the mother? If there are two Williams, which one actually married Mary Ashbourne and Jane Bunney?

Wow what a great response! I recognise "Behind the frogs" as you have kindly sent me info in the past, lots of it. I have passed onto you info and strays also. I think suspice you are in a warm place down under! Will be happy to join up any group with the aim of getting further back for the Edlins.
In response to the preacher question a Mr Thomas Bunney Edlin,( my gt gt grandfather) was a Classleader, Trustee and Local Preacher in the Methodist cause.His son James W. Edlin, by his first marriage, was also a local preacher who went out to India as an Evangelist and Colporteur.
At Stathern there is mention of a William Edlin in 1833 as a Trustee of the methodist church.
Look forward to sharing and moving forward.

Sorry I picked the wrong Manchester Family and missed Thomas being a methodist. His brother Ebenezer of course went to Levenshulme and founded quite a Lancashire dynasty of medics and teachers.
I am not sure quiite what a "class leader" was not being a methodist. Being a colporteur (pedlar of religeous books) in India send my imagination wild. Do you have any interesting stories?
I see we have started another jigsaw game of identifying who is behind the rootschat name.

Hi David,
Will own up - I am Heather in Lancs, related to those medics and teachers through TB Edlin. TB Edlin also had his first children in Lancs before moving back to Leics. At present I am attempting to find the death in India of his son.
Have so far got a William James died in Berne and a William James died in Geneva! Are they anyones?
No interesting stories as yet but promise to pass any on that I do find. Not sure what a class leader was or is but I know a man who does and will pass that on. I wasn't aware that there were other religious connections. I wondered whether religion and preaching were the reasons why the Edlins moved about the country.

Heather,
Welcome to rootschat
Try posting a specific request in the common room giving details of William James Edelin, his dates, where he was likely to have died and ask for ideas. You will be surprised what the experts in this chatroom come up with given a chance. I saw an Indian non- military deaths site somwhere but I can't recall it.
I had twigged who you were but it took a few minutes

Hi David,
thanks for the suggestion, will try it out. I have been trawling the consular deaths so far no luck. Will be seeing a Methodist Minister next week to find out about the system of preachers / leaders etc. It is amazing what this hobby throws up and I should start pub quizzes with all the associated trivia! In Leics next week also searching graveyards etc so if any one needs pics of churches etc in Vale of Belvior let me know and I will do my best.
Heather

I have just had a communication from a lady who has an Edlin family in Lincolnshire just over the border in Denton. It goes back to 1602. I have looked at her tree and there is nothing obvious to link with Croxton Kerrial but has anyone looked over the border for our 1777 William?

That is very interesting as my mum said there were Edlins in Denton "that weren't spoken of" no reason given. However she has a photo of my gt gran Ada Mary Edlin with a smart woman in a fur coat from the Grantham area believed to be a relative. No one can identify her however. Does this researcher know of any links however tenuous?
Will look at Eaton for you John - just send me some sun!!

He might be Edward Colsill Edlin father of Sir Peter Henry Edlin QC. The lithograph is noted in my card index but nothing more. I have only just started talking to the Lincolnshire lady. She suggested the proximity but nothing more.
