I'm rapidly losing my hair because of this man who was my ggf. and any help, thoughts or suggestions would be manna from heaven. Edwin EYLES was bapt. at Brimpsfield 24.12.1825 to Richard ILES and Patience nee BLANDFORD. I believe that he died sometime before 1893. In August 1853 he was in Littledean Jail convicted of assault. His prison records show that at that time he was living in Alvington with a wife and 4 children. I have been unable to find the marriage or the births of the children, or to find them on the 1851 census. In 1866 he had a son Henry - either by his first wife or possibly by his second wife Emma nee BUTT sometimes known as BUCK and occasionally even VIZARD (!!) He married Emma on 22.10.1868 at Parkend and she was born at East Dean around 1846. The three of them and another baby are shown to be living at Allastone Meend on the 1871 census. If anyone can help with any information regarding his first marriage and the children I will be extremely grateful. John
