Hallo Dad and Janice, read your email to Hazel you mention the name Edgecombe I have an article written in 1871 by W H Cottell which gives a paragraph or so to the Edgecombes I have an interest because William de Edgecumbe married Hillaria daughter and heiress of William de Cotele in1353 who lived at Cotele house Calstock Cornwall the Edgecombe took possesion of the house and lands when William de Cotele died as in those days wives were classified as goods and chattles and the husband took all the wife's possesions. The house is still there the Lord Mount Edgecombe gave it to the National Trust in the 1930s. The name Cotele changed in time to Cotel, Cottell, Cottle they have Arms, Or a bend Gules red band on a gold base and can be seen in the Edgecombe's armes in Cotele house on the river Tamar. The Cotel's came over with William the Conqueror from Brittany in 1066. Don't suppose it will help you but it might be of interest. Bill Cottle.
