Edwards clarification - Wardour
« on: Friday 01 July 22 21:25 BST (UK) »
Grateful for some Rootschatting assistance please.

James Edwards b 1810 or 1811 Wardour/Ansty, probably baptised at the Roman Catholic Chapel.

Trying to clarify his parentage.

There are several Ancestry Trees which believe that his father was John Edwards from Fovant, however new Rootschatter Atalanta, thinks a more likely candidate might be Stephen Edwards, schoolmaster at Wardour School (RC).

Is his father John or Stephen or someone else?

Atalanta and my wife are descendants of James.

Thanks Kanskar
