EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE FAMILY
We are searching for the ancestors/descendents of George EDGECUMBE born 1845 wiltshire married to Annie HUMME.
he moved to NZ with his father Henry born 1817 in Wiltshire, and a few of his younger brothers. One of these i believe to be Francis Henry EDGECUMBE.
Henry EDGECUMBE was born in 1817 married Martha EYLES in 1842. she was born in Melksham, Wiltshire in 1823.
George EDGECUMBE (his son) co-founded the Waikato Times in the early 1880's with another EDGECUMBE who is probably related to the current Earl. (edward Mortimer EDGECUMBE)
We think we have the direct line back to about 1600 but a few of these we are not %100 sure of.
George EDGECUMBE'S son was John Harold EDGECUMBE.
I would really appreciated any information you might have regarding this family, especially where you fit into it.
