    1. [NJESSEX] Pedler
    2. I would like to thank every one for their help in my search for members of the Pedler family who came to New Jersey from Plymouth Devon England. Thanks to some brillant detective work by Linda, I have now located a Great Great Uncle who came to New Jersey in 1885. His name was Edwin PEDLER. He was born in the June 1/4 1861 at Plymouth Devon. His father was a stone mason and Edwin also followed his trade. Edwin married a Louisa Dunn in the December 1/4 of 1882 at Plymouth Devon. The 1920 census shows he came to the USA in 1885 and took USA citizenship (?) in 1895. In1923 he was living 122 Carden Street Hobecken NJ. In 1920 he is living at 156 Hudson Street Hobecken NJ. With him is his wife and he is down as Father in law. It looks as if his son in law is an American Navy sailor, of Norwegian descent - John UNDERSON. His wife (and thought to be Edwin's daughter) is called Helen and it states she was born in the UK I can find a birth for a Helen PEDLER in 1887 at Crediton Devon (not far from Plymouth) Edwins wife on the 1920 census is Harriet PEDLER. Harriet was born in New Jersey and is aged 53 yrs. So it appears that Louisa may have died sometime between 1882 and 1920. I have checked the UK BMD and no Louisa Pedler had a death registered in that period, so I am presuming she died in New Jersey. They also have 3 nephew and nieces living with them, William, Evelin, Edward KASCH Does this family link with anyone out there? Thank you again for all your help Karen
