Edward Reed of Rickling

[angel~eyes]

I am in the process of working out which Reed/Read is which (yes we have all been there many times). I went down to Rickling it is tiny but a lot of people have been living there for centuries. I am working through the Reeds/Reads to work out who is who. Has anyone attempted this as they seem to be connected to everyone in Rickling, Rickling Green and Quendon as well as over spilling into Stanstead, Manuden and Little/Great Hallingbury? Today I came across several children for Edward Reed and Hannah - she is Hannah Jefferies and he was b c1730 in Rickling, please could someone help me find out who his parents are and anything else about him. Thank you in advance M
