Potter in Edney Common, near Chelmsford

[Suffolk Mawther]

I am helping a Canadian friend with a British Home Children query.

We are looking for Elizabeth Potter who was born around 1870 in Edney Common.

She appears to have remained a single woman, but her three children were all sent to Canada.

What I am looking for at the moment is which parish church would have served the community at Edney Common please?

Thank you, SM ...

Edney Common is actually in the parish of Highwood

Oh

I was just about to post this link (from same site as I posted before) about Writtle, which says it includes hamlet of Edney Green!!

I found the info about Highwood, but still could not find a parish church or the name of dedication. No chance of a St Mary's Edney Green then! Looks like it might be All Saints at Writtle .... I will persue that one.

The parish church in Highwood is St Paul.

There is no baptism for Elizabeth at either church
