Carolyn.. Thank you so much for this... I suppose it isn't too much of a stretch to assume my Charles Edmunds was born before his parents married. Can I impose on you to see if there are any christening records that list any of the couple's children? It is presumptuous of me to ask, I know but as you are a researcher, you understand how obsessed people become with this... Thanks for any help you can give me..
