Hi David, hi Maria, and hi to any others.  This post is to 'register' interest in the thread.

I, too, am a direct descendent of the Lincs/Leics line, my mother having been an Edlin.

I'm not sure I have much more than David has, although I keep promising myself I'll add a few snippets to your latest document!

Regards to all, Peter

HI, I too am a direct descendant of this line, I'm descended from George Robert Edlin who sailed from England to NZ on the "Joseph Fletcher". I have no other information than what David has but if you have any more detailed info Maria I would love to see it

Hi everyone,

This is what I've got:

William Edlyn b. 1490 d.1538 Redmile (son of John and Emme Edlyn ?)

His Children:

John Edlynge b. 1513 buried 1583, Elizabeth, Annye and Margaret.

Then John Edlynge b.1513 d. 1582

His Children:

Catherine m Claxton
William
Allice m Fletcher
John
Robert Edlynge
Elizabeth m Robert Burden/Burton
Richarde m Katherine Cunnans
John
Agnes

Then according to your records David:

Richarde b. 1544 d. 1612 married Katherine Cunnans:

Children were John Edlyn b. 1580 Denton, Elizabeth b. Redmile, and I have a Grace Edlyn b. 1576 Denton

I wonder if the Catherine Claxton who was mentioned in the will of John Edlynge (1513) was in fact the daughter of his nephew William son of George who I have marrying Roger Clayton (or Claxton)

I am still working on the info you sent to me David. I would be interested in any new info regards the NZ line.  Got grandchildren staying at present so once they are gone I will be back into it.Thanks everyone who has help me in my quest.

Hi David

This is what I have:

I don't have George Edlinge (buried 1582 Belton) on my tree, although I've pencilled him in as son of William Edlyn b.1490 from your notes.

I have John Edlynge b 1513 m Unknown

His son William Edlinge b c 1540

His son William Edlyn b. 1565 Denton m. Ann Adcock 1586 Knipton

Now it gets a bit muddled.  This marriage had 2 daughters - I have no names for them.  One married Roger Claxton (Grandson of Catherine Claxton), and the other married Michael Fletcher (Grandson of Allice Edlyn and Fletcher).  So the daughters married cousins.

I have no details on the Claxton son of Catherine, and only the name Anne, mother of Michael Fletcher, who was sister of William b. 1565 Denton.  Seems to be a lot of in-breeding here and it may not be correct.

The only place where we seem to differ is whether it was William the son of William or William the son of George who married Ann Adcock.

The William who married Anne seems to have had a sister also called Ann who currently doesn't fit anywhere.  This latter Ann could of course have been the wife of a brother as in those days the term "in law" had a different meaning.
