Love to reply all 

But I must go for a   " George "   ( I really hope its not izel in there  )

P.S. if you Google   " Sweet Fanny Adams " you will find the saying has its origins in a really macarbe event,

Pete,

This is a true story,

I was in my local archive office searching for my G.G.G grandad, I had been there for about four hours and was just about to give up the ghost and give up, when suddenly out of the blue,  my sock fell down,  I was shoked,    I have been in that archives many times and I have done a lot of lookups for various people but in all that time I was doing that my socks stayed up,  I feel that my G.G.G. grandad was looking after me,

Pete,

This is really true, and its spooky even for me

I was really in the archives here in Shrewsbury looking for my Thomas, 1828    I tried every micro thingy they had in the draws with no luck, I was lookiing for his marriage, I was getting peed of and thought thats it,  after many hours of going through the fiches I thought I would like to see the original entry,  now to get in to that room you have to be a member, to get membership I had to have,  I.D. card,  photo, three bills,  no probs,

I went into the said room, put on the white gloves, and requested the said book, a couple of minuits later a Lady came with a big book, it was as thick as me, the lady placed it on the table in front of  me and left, I swear to God on my life that this is the truth, great big thick book, I thought this will pass some time, I opened the book at random, there he was out of all the pages I could of choose there he was, God bless you Thomas,

I am a nut and im proud    

Thanks for the time all,      I found this marriage by visiting Shropshire archives,  I.G.I.,  I am looking at a copy of the cert from the original, 

the marriage was by banns.

they both give there parish as Cound, try as I might I cannot find a George Edwards born in Cound, spent many hours in the archives ( only 15 mins walk ) trying,  witnesses,

In the presence of   Paul          Edwards
                             Margret    Evans

yes I think that Margret was the first born, 

Cound parish registers ( I have seen the orignals )

5      Jan     1808     Margret  d of  Geo and Sarah  Edwards
25   Feb      1816     Margret Edwards of Coundmoor  aged 7  buried

28  Feb    1859     George  Edwards of Coundmoor   aged 71  buried
9    sept   1868     Sarah   Edwards  of Coundmoor  aged  84 buried

I am prety certain that they may have been closet Catholics as there offspring were baptised at the nearby Acton burnell R/C church,

Again thanks for all your time

Pete
