So far I've not come across an Edward Edwards born c 1805 Broughton when researching my family. As the previous posts show the father of my Peter Edwards born 1822 Llanarmon Yn Yale, Denbighshire was also called Peter Edwards and was a farmer (as shown on son Peter's marriage record). There is a possible baptism on the 1 June 1822 baptism in Llanarmon by a Peter and Sarah Edwards but this shows his father was a grocer, not farmer. No other suspects though.  I have found researching Welsh surnames particularly frustrating but perhaps that's all part of the fun !?  If I do come across your chap I'll flag it up on this post.

Thank you both for explaining this.  I've learnt something new today!

I am so sorry, I've made several blunders in this post.
Edward Edwards was born 1863.
I can only see him in 1901 and 1911 census (with wife and children), but no other census.

Yes his father Peter was born 1822. I didn't have a burial for him.

Edward's marriage to Annie Barratt gave his father as Peter Edwards. I have a baptism 19 Oct 1862, Gresford to Peter and Sarah.

Rosie99, this has been my problem all along, there seem to be several families with similar names and aged children in the area I’m searching.    I think I’m unravelling something and then I begin to doubt.  And it doesn’t get any easier identifying William white senior and Sarah May. There are several possibles, and because it’s limited to parish records there’s not much to go on, except centering my search on where the family grew up. I spend a lot of time on Google maps as my geography of Essex is very poor.

Hi everyone

I have been studying a couple born and married in Terling, Essex on 20 Feb 1864 – William WHITE and Elizabeth GUILDER.  They were both born in Terling, Essex.

Elizabeth GUILDER b. 1842 and William WHITE b.1819 according to census records below:-
•   1871 census - William White age 53 son-in-law to head, Hannah Guilder, born and residing in Brick Cottages, Terling.
•   1881 census – William White age 62 head, born and residing Brick Cottages, Terling.
•   1891 census – William White, Widower, age 73 living with married daughter Romia Cartick (?) Brick Cottages, Terling.

I’ve not managed to find William in 1841, 1851 or 1861. He was over 20 years older than his wife Elizabeth Guilder, so she could have been his second wife.

I have been struggling to correctly identify the father and mother of this William WHITE b.1819, and locate them on census records.

There is a marriage in Terling of a William WHITE to a Sarah MAY on 8 Jul 1817 which seems to fit my William White born 1819, Terling but I cannot see a baptism for William with these parents.

I cannot proceed further than these pieces of information - Can anyone help me please?
