Trying to find info re John Edwards aka Jack the Bulldog, born Marloes, Wales 1865. John was the last person ever to farm Skomer Island from 1905 untill 1912.
John was married to my g.g.grandmother Margaret (Pollie) Edwards (her maiden name also) at some point BEFORE 1905, and there was 1 child Margaret Phillipa, He then went on to a second marriage and there were several children from that marriage. Any info at all would be great!

Name Age
James Edwards 69
John Edwards 35, son , married, born Marloes
Margaret Edwards 67

This could be John in 1901 with his parents but no sign of his wife Pollie

seaham lass. the 3rd post pollie definately my pollie thats her parents and sister, didnt know bout the brother. The other census im not sure. I think Bulldog was born 1863 that would make him a little older than that one. and i know one of the sisters names was Elizabeth, There were other siblings but have no idea of the names.
Anne of gg, yes, im referring to Dale village Wales.

hmm Seaham lass you have me wondering now, the info re sister Elizabeth i got directly from my auntie who remembers an Auntie Lizzie being referred to. Could be she's confusing it, maybe.
