Find Ancestors

I m not on Holiday - just chasing up on previous posting info, which has not as yet born any results - 3 days with out reply does not constitute a holiday, had lots of research to do and also personal business to attend to, a couple of posts by you does not give you the right to criticise - I have sent 365 days a year for 10 years on this site researching and am feed upwith so called experts criticism of others, Jan - don't put others off by presuming that a couple of days without a reply means notinterested. I have more than one post and most have been on here for years. Think before you comment.
ps - have already pm stephen/Rachel

Hi Stephen, Karen seems to have gone on holiday!

I too am researching the Edwards family tree, but have very little information to go on, so unfortunately i can't help you with your search. I notice that you have family links to Monmouthshire, I was wondering if you have come across Lillian Edwards in your tree born approx 1897 married Edward Crew?

Long shot I know.

Looking for other members of the Edwards family that may be reseaching on here. Do not need anymore census, hoping there are more family who know more about siblings etc., Yes have done searches, and have only found one other member of our family, and we are sharing what little we know. Have not been able to find any info on Richard/Henry second marriage, I believe there may have been more children from 2nd marriage, but nothing is known of them. Keeping this thread alive incase anyone does decide to research our family, and checks here. Both Richard and Catherine were Edwards.

do you have all census years details for both of them so as not to repeat what you already know

still looking - Richard was my Husbands Grandfather, and would like to know more of his welsh family.

still researching

Yes I have been looking for years, unfortunately no one else in the family seems to be doing a tree. All I can do is hope that someone else finally starts researching this family, and knows more than we do.

Karen,
