Hi again everyone.
Sorry to be slow in reply but I have been away for nearly a week.
Did Deb manage to find out who Janice is related to, as I am very keen to contact her.
I have noticed on the certificate of marriage of Alvey Hedges to Alfred Cumbers I think that she must of lied about her age by a couple of years to make herself 21. Also one of the witnesses was Olive Hedges who I presume was her sister. The other witness Harry Shepherd. Does anybody know who he was?
The Hedges line down to my family is as Jenny said, from James Hedges b1816.
Thank you all again for your help.
Regards
Keith

Hey Girls:
You're both out for the night. Anyway, I contacted a distant relative who has been doing a chart and who sent me some attachments that I can't open a few years ago. I have contacted her again tonight. She told me that a couple of years ago that she could trace back to Samuel Hedges in 1771. Who knows, maybe this is the father of all the brothers!!!!!!! Anyway, looks like we are going to solve it one way or the other.
As for me, I was raised in Romford, Essex, and most of my mother's immediate family lived in Collier Row. Grandfather Cumbers and Alvey owned an old pub called the Rose and Crown (according to my mother), and also owned the land near Clock House Lane, that became a housing tract after WWII. Romford must have been a little village in those days.
When I get the chart, I will paste it on the site for you. J.
Hi Keith
This is the last post that we received from Janice it was on Saturday 22 November. We haven't heard from her since I'm afraid. Have you tried sending her a PM. She mentions above that she is the granddaughter of Alfred Cumbers and Alvey Hedges. Sorry I can't help more. I do hope Janice joins us again.
Jenny

Hello Jenny
I have just stumbled across your posts on the Hedges family. My name is Peter and I can confirm that we are related. My great grandfather is Henry Hedges who is your great uncle. I was amazed to see a photo of him as I do not have one. Do you have any other photos of the Hedges family? My nan is Eliza Hedges born 1894. I remember seeing Henry Hedges just the once but my nan pulled me into an alley because she did not want to see him. I am afraid he was not a nice man but I can tell you about that later. I trawled through all 36 pages of the posts and I can help confirm some of your findings. I have extracted some of the pages to have a look at later but did you manage to solve your original problem about the Hedges brothers and subsequently who their parents were? By the way I was brought up the Brook area of Chatham but I currently live in Gillingham.
This is the first time I have posted anything on Roots Chat.
Let me know if I can help
Regards
Peter

Hello India 2
My name is Peter and my nan was Eliza Hedges the sister of your nan Rose Ann Hedges. I have a photograph of Eliza with a lady who I believe is her sister Rose Ann. Perhaps you may be able to confirm this for me. You are correct about Margaret Boswell. In fact my nan adopted her daughter Joyce after she died. My mum Rose always moaned about the fact that she had to share her bedroom with Joyce. I have a photo of Joyce with Eliza. I also have a some stories about Henry Hedges your great grandfather. However I am not sure that they should be aired in the public domain. If you care to send me more details about yourself and your e-mail address then perhaps we can go into more detail.
Regards
Peter

hi Peter,
thats brilliant! l am so excited. l agree that that Henry's should not aired in public. my nan would have nothing to do with him when she grew up.
is it safe to send my email adress on here, or is there another way. l would love to see the photo. The only one l have seen of her when she was young was the one my aunt Liza had. that was when l was a child.
cant wait to let you know more. lovely to meet you.
