Hi I am the G G Grandson of Thomas EDWARDS Thomas EDWARDS b. circa 1796 (possibly in Kings Bromley) and married Millicent Brailsford of Matlock in Matlock 1811. They had 11 children who ended up in the Aldridge/Walsall region. My great grandfather William was a saddletree manufacturer and emigrated to Melbourne Australia in 1875 with family members including his nephew Jabez. William visited his English relatives around 1910 and I have a family group photo as a memento, but of course have no names!!! If anyone has knowledge of their descendants I am visiting the UK next month and would like to make contact if convenient. Any family history information would be most useful.

Dear David, I have received your email via the Warwick list. I would suggest that you contact the Chairman of the Walsall Family History Group, Mr. D.J.Perkins, 7, Launceston Road, Walsall, West Midlands, WS5 3EB. Tel: 01922 632573. When you get here. David may be able to help. Unfortunately I don't think he is on email, but the Society's website is http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/group/index.htm We may have some records in our own Reference Library that may help www.bmsgh.org, but as you are looking for fairly recent information, I would suggest you try Walsall first. There is an excellent local history centre at Walsall, who again may be able to help.
