I seek information about John Edge, born @ 1815, emigrated to Canada 1832. He was identified as a farmer, and he may have come from a place called something like Coalville or Shargreen. There is a family story that he was one of four brothers shipwrecked off the coast of Nova Scotia/New Brunswick.

Well, the only Coalville I know is in Leicestershire, and Shargreen could well be Shiregreen which is in North Nottinghamshire: both are coal mining communities as well as being rural. -- Chris Ramsbottom researching: BARRATT, DANCER, FELLOWS, GOODES, ROBINSON, TUCKLEY, WHEWAY MAHER all in and around Birmingham/Smethwick, 1850 to present day
