Edlin in Leics and Lincs and NZ

As the original one name thread

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,129116.0.html

has been locked for sometime I have decided to open a new one.

Can I suggest that those who are interested identify their link into this family and how far back they have managed to get.

I have no specific link with this branch of Edlins but do have large tree back to 1580 in Denton and I am aware of the collection of information from wills which show possible links back to William Edlyn born 1490.

My own interest is a one name study of the Edlin family worldwide.

Hi David

I'm a direct descendant of this branch and my Tree goes back to John and Emme Edlying (d 1515).  I have just started the Tree in GR and you contacted me (Maria), and sent me your document on the Leicestershire branch.  I also sent you what I had - hope you received it OK.  My interest is to complete the family tree and gather any history concerning my ancestors.

I wonder if any of you have comments on the early families which seem to link to our trees.

There seem to be fairly solid links back to John Edlin born c1580 in Denton who married Margaret in 1601.  However there is a possible line further which seems to be based on wills.  Has anyone access to these wills or any supporting information?  The details that I have are:

Emma Edling born 1515 m 1535 spouse? child:
William buried 1538 Redmile (conflicts with next entry) 65

65)  William Edlyn born 1490 buried 1538 Redmile  (* mentioned in will) children:
Elizabeth Edlyn b Redmile * married Robert Burton 15 Feb 1574 Knipton 
George Edlinge buried 1582,Belton 63
John Edlinge born 1513  buried 1583 , Nipton * 64
Thomas Edlinge buried 1585 , Grantham
Annye *
Margaret (deceased in 1538) *

64)  John Edlynge born 1513 died Sept 1582 Knipton (also mentioned in will Catherine Claxton5, Ennis(?) her child, Elizabeth Burday)  buried 1583 Knipton. From his will  children
Allice married Fletcher
William eldest son
Robert
Johan (daughter)
Rychard 55
John
Agnes
This John could well be the husband of Emma above.

63)  George Edlinge buried 1582 ,Belton , m ? child:
William Edlinge buried 1607 Knipton 62

62)  William Edlinge died and was buried Knipton 1607 from his will married Anne (Ann Adcock 26 Oct 1586 Knipton?), sister Anne with two children.  His children:
(Daughter married?) Roger Clayton (Claxton?)
Michael Fletcher
Richard Edlyn buried 1631, Knipton  61

61)  Richard Edlyn buried 1631,Knipton m ? children:
Richard Edlin buried 1677 m ?
William Edlin buried 1677, Croxton Kerrial

55) Richard Edlin born 1544 married Katherine Cunnans (born 1553).  He died 1612
Elizabeth Edlin born Redmile
John Edlin born 1580 Denton  (mentioned above)

The cross reference numbers are from my records.

Hi

From my source, Emme Edlyng was the widow of John Edlyng, and died in 1515.

Maria

Hi Maria,

Your Emme could be my Emma as my source used b to mean burial or birth  randomly.  If you then reject the marriage in 1535 then we may have the parents of William who died in 1538 as John and Emma.

David

Yes, I agree.

Extract for Leicestershire Archealogical and Historical Society report:

"... and Emme Edlying, widow of John Edlying, was the only parishioner of St. Mary's to endow an obit.  She made a charge of xx a year on her property in Knighton for a Mass to be celebrated on "St Sulpir Day, 17th January" in St Mary's Church"

It would be interesting to know what her maiden name was.

Does anybody else have information on Emme?

Maria

Hi again,

I have as children of John and Emme Edlyng:

Emmott (b.c. 1485) m Thomas Bolton, Margaret (b.c. 1490) m Edward Lyddyrland and William Edlyn (b.c. 1488) d. 1538 Redmile.  William with a query mark.

What's going on?  The Edlin thread locked and here no-one answering!!!

Why do we have to identify ourselves, David, and say what interest we have in this branch?  Why are you interested in the Edlins, if you have no link to MY family?

I would appreciate a reply, please.

My interest is identified in the original post.  The reason main reason that I suggested that others do the same was so that they get notifications of new posts.  When I have a spare half hour I will send the details of this new thread to all the people on my contact list.
