I am interested in John Edwards (perhaps John J. Edwards) or his family, who probably lived in Granite City (or maybe Edwardsville) in 1880 to 1920. (This could be later or earlier. He would be my GGrandfather----he married Anna Craig & I believe they lived in either Henry County or Wayne County Indiana. I suspect the marriage occurred around 1890 as he they had three girls in the 1890's (Mildred, Marjorie & evelyn) and they a boy (my Grandfather) around 1904. He seems to be out of the picture shortly after that, but it is not clear that he died. There seems to be something about him going to Wales & back with his family or for his family (he was born in Wales). Further, I once found an article in the Richmond, Indiana paper which mentioned the family going to Granite Illinois because a monument (or some like honor) was being erected to him (or perhaps some other relative). Would appreciate any information which the relevant census data might reveal (or any other source of information someone might have). Thanks for your attention to this matter mayla@lava.net
