Families covered: Edwardes of Lelant, Edwards of Wisbech (Wisbich)
The following section was first uploaded to a Temporary page on 03.11.11, being held back from release into 'the database proper' not because of any doubts about the BLG1952 article on the family but because of our hopes of finding the connection between this family and Edwards of Wisbech (Wisbich) who also intermarried with the family of Crosse of Wisbech (who also married with the Tilney family). We have since uploaded Crosse2 on that Crosse family, which has enabled us to make a connection between Edwards of Wisbech and the rest of the database (so it is now shown in the lower section below), but we have still to find the connection between these two Edwards families. | |||||||||||||||
