George Edwards,
« on: Friday 10 October 14 14:11 BST (UK) »

Hi all  :)

not often I ask for a request, but can anybody on here confirm what I  suspect,

George Edwards married Sarah Rowe, 12 March 1808  Cound ( Shropshire ),  I have them on all census from 1841 onwards, this I know as fact,

I think George was born in Uffington,  son of James and Jane , 

Methinks there is a link with Ryton 11 towns,

Many thanks in advance for your time,

Pete,

Hiya Pete - I am a little confused .
according to Familysearch - George Edwards married Sarah Rowe in Condover 12th March 1808 - not Cound ...BUT ..
it also has a George Edwards in 1841 census born in 1791 in Cound ...this would make George Edwards only 17 at the marriage if he is the right George ??
can I ask where you found the marriage was in Cound ??
Margaret Edwards bap 5th june 1808 in Cound - parents George and Sarah - is this their firstborn ?
if so she was born 3 months after the marriage - so maybe George was only 17 and came from Cound and returned back to Cound after the marriage ?

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NNQ3-W3V
where are George and Sarah in 1841 census - is it Cound ?....if so - it looks like the George b 1791 in Cound

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 :) :)

The parish mentioned on a marriage certificate is simply where they were living during the required qualifying period while the banns were called!

It most certainly does not imply they were born there!


I assume you are looking at the Parish Record, and not the IGI?
Marriage certificates only came into being on 1st July 1837! ;D

Silly question I suppose - but could Condover actually be Cound Over ?....a part of Cound ...?...gonna google Condover
added....no Condover is the correct spelling
by road they are 9 miles apart - but it is like going around a Horseshoe shaped road ...in effect across land I would say no more than 3 miles ...

I have seen Edwards, from Cressage, only up the road.

Pete, have you checked neighbouring Parishes ?

Sorry, what was George Edwards, occupation ?

Paul Edwards, witness at the marriage, how does he fit in with your family ?
