There is a burial in Oldswinford on 7 Sept 1672 for Sarah w of John Edmunds and on 1st June 1694 a burial of John Edmonds - possibly John's parents?

Unfortunately my records only start in 1647 so I cant find a baptism for John, and nor can I find a marriage record.

This looks like it could be one of his sons though:

In 1711 Barnabus Haynes was apprenticed to Henry Edmunds, tayler (sic) until 24
In 1715 Jane Perrins was apprenticed to Henry Edmunds as housewife to tayler (sic) until 21 or married.

I wonder if this fits into your family too?   In 1732 a Thomas Green was apprenticed to John Edmunds, nayler(sic), until 24.   There is then a later settlement examination record (1761) for "GREEN, Thomas, nailer, b at Oldswinford where his father is settled, husband of Joyce and father of John b 1760. Apprenticed at 8 years to John EDMONDS, nailer of Oldswinford and later of Halesowen, from whom he ran away."

Thankyou so much for this information - Naylor was definitely a profession in the Edmunds family male line. I will have a look and see if the info fits.
