Hi,

Edward Edwards and Robert Edwards are my 3rd great and 4th great grandfather respectively, all I know about them is that they lived in Flintshire, Wales, any connection?

Thanks
Edwards, Bereisza, Lee, Charville, Cartwright, Sloane, Kohnen, Pulskamp

I do! Edward was born 12 September 1845 in Halkin, Flintshire Wales (according to my info) and died in 1929 in Cincinnati Ohio. He was married to Margaret Roberts (1849-1916)

His father I believe was Robert, who was born approx. 1820 also in Flintshire, Wales. I've been trying for a long time to explore my Edwards heritage but I've never been able to get past this point.

Hopefully there is a connection here

There were quite a few Edwards families to say the least across Flintshire at this time.The 1851 Census places your Robert as born a little earlier than 1820,it gives a birthyear of c 1808 in Halkyn Flintshiire-HO107/2501/25/9.

My own Edwards family concerns the marriage of a Robert Edwards to my relative Jane Evans in Holywell in c 1795.So far I only have one definite child from this marriage Robert born in 1798.

Wow, I knew Edwards was a fairly common surname, but that would explain why it's been so difficult to find them. Thanks for clarifying Robert's birth year for me. Any suggestions as to where I could look to find more about Robert and who his parents might be?
