Hello
I am searching the above family for more information.
The parents are Susan Morris and Samuel Edmunds/Edmunds. I have census for 1841 to 1881.
Both parents were born around 1817/1818 and some of the family lived at some time in Turks alley, green street or  St Owen Street. Children seem to have been born between 1839 and 1863 which seems to be a long period of time. I am wondering if I may have got two families mixed up. Mother’s maiden name is Morris.

In 1871 census, son Richard Valentine is born in 1863  (mothers maiden name Morris). His brother Thomas born in 1861 appears to have mothers maiden name as Williams according to GRO. There is another Thomas born in 1845 with mother’s maiden name as Morris. He is on the1851 census.

(Ann) Elizabeth Edmunds I believe is born in 1849 according to GRO. In 1881 Elizabeth Edmunds is head of house and has children. No mention of a husband. My interest is in her son Harry born 1878 who later in life appears to have married a Lily Harford and lived in Gloucester.

Elizabeth’s daughter Susan appears to have the surname Powell in her name and wondered if anyone could find out any definite information about Elizabeth Edmunds/Edmonds.

In 1851 Susan’s brother James is living with them. He is a shoemaker born in 1823

Thanks for any help in confirming if same family, the name Powell, or anything else

I have a couple of problems all to do with same family. I have mentioned it in past but now have some definate information. I am looking for Henry Edmunds ancestors.
Henry married Beatrice Callow in Cardiff in 1922. His father was Henry Edmunds and a bricklayer. Henry Jnr died on 9/4/1926 age 24 in Cardiff. There is no apparent birth certificate. He definitely had a sister Violet who married Arthur Brown in Cardiff and says she was born acc to 1939 register on 21/1/1902. That possibly is not true as her family had a troubled time and she needed a job so apparently started work at age 12. Her mother possibly is called Lilian or Lily. There is a family in Gloucester but not sure so starting from scratch.  Henry’s mother died apparently when the children were young and they were looked after by Bill and Susan Williams. Susan is the informant on Henry’s death certificate and named as an aunt. On 1939 register John William Williams and Susan Williams were living with Violet and her husband Arthur.
According to Henry’s death certificate he was a railwayman carriage cleaner
A member of the family has said he believes that Henry snr May have been in the First World War Gloucester regiment and won a medal.
I have looked everywhere I can think.

Hi

I am looking for the parents of George Lomas born 1740 in Biddulph. He married Sarah Winckle on 3/1/1765 in Biddulph. George died in Biddulph and buried on 28/2/1823.  I also think there may be a will dated 7/10/1828.

Is there anyone with any info. Would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi
I am helping a friend look for relatives of her father Daniel Edward Edwards.

Daniel Edward Edwards was born in 1922 and was brought up by some family members in Tongwynlais, Glamorgan. My friend thinks that they may have been grandparents but we can’t seem to find anyone of same name. They ran the chip shop in the main road in Tongwynlais.

Daniel Edward Edwards parents were Daniel Edwards born 1904 and Violet Davies born 1901 They married in 1922.

We don’t have a marriage certificate yet for Daniel and Violet that we would hope give their father’s names.

We think the years could be any time between 1922and 1942 when he married

Daniel Edward Edwards served in the Royal Navy. So some of the latter years he may have enlisted.

I am hoping that someone may have some local knowledge that could help my friend who lives in Australia.

Thanks

Hi

I am looking for a birth record and any information for Patrick Stephen Mansfield born about 1845/6 in Ireland possibly Cork. At some stage Patrick moved to Manchester England where he married Annie in 1870 in Chorlton, Manchester although in some census it appears as Agnes (if anyone knows why there is a change in name). Patrick was a ‘wood carver’. His father was James Mansfield.  Patrick died in 1915 and is buried in Manchester.

Thanks
