Edward Jonathan Priestley, Major H.M. 25th Foot, was born about 1788 (birth place unknown), married Mary Ann Kenworthy in 1814 in Middlesex, and died in Dublin in 1858. Ramsden, Blakiston and Gore are the middle names used for three of Edward's sons and could possibly relate back to his ancestry. If I could find out where Spring Hall, Yorkshire, would have been located in about 1780 it would give me a place to start searching for his parents.
