Kent / The Edwards challenge ..Tunbridge Wells/Southborough help gratefully accepted
« on: Wednesday 10 October 12 22:03 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Firstly I am always a bit confused about whether Tunbridge Wells counts as Kent or Sussex so if its in the wrong forum please let me know.
I have been trying to find some of my ancestorys for a couple of years now and some how they just appear as if by magic in the 1861 census, then disappear again!
The search began with Henry Elias Edwards born in 1864 in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, to a Charlotte Edwards (Father unknown)
I have found a Charlotte Edwards (b 1850 Tunbridge) living a few streets away from where Henry was born in the 1861 census with her Father Richard Edwards (b 1813 in what looks like Askhurst but I assume is Ashurst?) her mother Sarah (b 1818 also Askhurst/Ashurst) and her two siblings Harriett Edwards (b 1848 Tunbridge) and William (B 1853 Tunbridge).
The family seem to appear in the 1861 census and then disappear again until I find Henry Elias Edwards in a later census married and with children.
I am desperate to find out more about them so any help would be fantastic and greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Amy
