Introduction
Edwards ~ First Generation
| Thomas
EDWARDS Married Mary, surname unknown. A great deal of investigation has been done of the parish records of Presteigne, Radnorshire, Wales. The relevant tapes, #992389, #1040019 and #1040020, have been examined by me (LS) closely during 2013. Many of the marriages, baptisms and burials relating to the Edwards family have been extracted. The list is attached here. Some periods of time are very unclear particularly in the early centuries. Baptisms of James and William in 1767 and 1773, sons of Thomas and Mary Edwards, coincide so closely with the calculated dates of birth of these two from other evidence, that it is almost certain that these are a correct match. James and William had a sister Margaret baptised in 1770 so she has been put in as well. There is a possible marriage of Thomas Edwards to a Mary which occurred on 20 Apr 1754, to Mary Hunt in the presence of John Hunt. This may be too early to be the correct marriage.

EDWARDS Married Catharine, surname unknown. The tree for John Stuart Edwards has been retained due to also being in the area of Presteigne, and it appearing that descendants of both families went into business together in London. |
