Goodmorning one and all, An interesting find in the Sherford PR's when looking for my names. Elizabeth Lacy EDWARDS born 28 Apr 1836 Mary Ann EDWARDS born 6 Mar 1838 Ann Frances EDWARDS born 17 Apr 1840 William EDWARDS born 5 Jul 1842 These children were all baptised on the same day, 30 Apr 1845 at Sherford. The parents James EDWARDS and Frances were of " Paradise Sandwich Bay, North America ". James is recorded as a Fisherman. James at some point may have been living at Chillington in Stokenham as his daughter Ann Frances died there and was buried at Shrford on the 27 Sep 1845. When did James immigrate to North America? Did he marry in Devon? When did he arrive back in Devon? Was Frances a LACY before marriage? There are LACY names in the Southhams. In 1851 James is now living at Halwell....but with a different wife. James EDWARDS 51 Farmer of 80 acres born Sherford Harriett wife 49 yrs born Cornworthy William son agd 8 rs Farm Serv born Labrador Paradise Where is Frances buried? Labrador Paradise would trick anyone I would think unless they knew where the family had been previously. I hope this info helps anyone who is a bit tricked up with this family. Can anyone add to this, please post to the List for the benefit of everyone. Cheers Bev -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
