Thank you for looking. Yes I have ruled out that one - he died in 1821 and Edwin died in infancy.

Armed Forces / Edmund Vimpany 1780-1836
« on: Friday 22 June 18 20:14 BST (UK) »I am looking for an ancestor who was born around 1780 supposedly in Gloucestershire. He married in 1808 in Brighton, then moved to London where he had a family. He died in Gloucester in 1836. It has been suggested that he may have been in Brighton because he was in the military.
I have been researching this family for many years and it is littered with ‘Edmunds’. I have managed the trace them all except this one. Is there any way I can find out if he was in the military?

The Lighter Side / Re: Gift for my Great Grandmother - What's Yours?

I actually knew one of my gr.grandmothers. She was in her 90s and I was a small child. The trouble was she was so thin and frail that she scared me and I wouldn't go near her. I have since found out that her father died when she was small and she and her siblings spent several years in the workhouse.
So if I could go back and meet her again, I would give her a hug.

If more proof were needed the elder child marries in Hull in March 1943 and has entries in both names Hawthorn and Swatman (Ref. 9d 395)
