We have a Piers Edgcumbe here in Nelson, New Zealand, who is, I believe,  heir to his brother the current  Earl of Mount Edgcumbe who also has local connections.  Is this part of the familiy you're looking at?

Hi sorry it has taken me a couple of weeks to get back to you, i havn't been online in a while. Thanks for taking the time to reply:-)

we are interested in anything Edgecumbe from this area. trying to find the links (hopefully) between the edgecumbe line we have and the anscestors in south of England.

they came out to NZ and started a newspaper. I will ask my partner to post the details later this afternoon.


kind regards

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 or any other Edgecumbes in the area.

kind regards

Christopher Edgecumbe

Thanks so much for this!

I have had a look at the archive site and decided it was a right shame that i used to live there and now i want the records i live in Australia:-) such is life i guess.
 

i am assuming from you other posts that you have access to the marriage records of this time in NZ.

That has given me a few things to do for the moment so thanks for you help and maybe i might need your expertise a little later on. Thanks again

Christopher Edgecumbe

Good to know the data was of some use, or interest. The Hamilton Cemeteries, West, East, and Park, are available at http://web.hcc.govt.nz/jsplive/assure32.jsp. Many of the other cemeteries have their records on line too. A new disk is available linking names to a cemetery in NZ. Could save time on searches. We can now match marriage partners up to 1999.
All the best
