Edmondson (Edmonson, Edmundson, Edmunson) of Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancs/York

[Tyke]

My interest are the Edmondsons (with various spellings) of Greystoke in Cumberland in 1500s whose decendents spread to neighbouring villages, then to Brough in Westmorland, then Kendal and north Lancashire.  They were in Pateley Bridge in Yorkshire by the 1750s then Knaresborough by 1800 and Bradford in Yorkshire by 1850s.

Decendents are still in Bradford but also in the Lancaster/Morecambe/Heysham areas.

Interested in comparing notes with others looking at the same family

Hello Tyke

Hope that you are still on-line.

For the past 20 plus years since my 91yo. father passed away, I have been attempting to trace our EDMONDS family line.

I have even developed over many years a site of EDMONDS family groups on behalf of EDMONDS' world-wide.

My site is at -

I would like more information if you are able to supply it.

Hello Tyke,
I only recently came across your subject. James Edmondson b. 1799 in Lancashire (I Believe in Roosebeck) is my 4th great grandfather. His great grand-daughter Susannah married my great grandfather Abraham Thompson Robinson (residence on Walney, Barrow in Furness in 18950. Do we have a family connection? Xsalamak
