*Archived * -Edwards or Johnson Familes of Whiteheath

[dudleylad]

Hi All

Im trying to do some research into my Nans family.

Ive got quite a way back with the Johnsons who I believe originally came from Darlaston and settled in Whiteheath my great grandfather being Thomas Johnson born 1884 and married Mary Edwards in 1907 at St Pauls Blackheath

Mary Edwards father was Walter Edwards born 1856 in Lancashire

Ive got all the census returns for many of th Johnsons and Edwards but would like to bring things forward now in time and also back in time with regards to the Edwards family

As ive only gone back as far as Walters father who had the rather imaginative name of Edward Edwards

If anyone thinks they maybe related please post in here with your census info, dates and names etc.

John Glaze is Elizabeths brother, I cant find any info as too whether Martha married

Walter and Elizabeth also had another 4 children

Phoebe born 1879
Walter born 1882
Mary (my great grandmother) born 1884
John born 1893

Now Walters father according to my records was born in 1819 in North Wales and Walters mother was called Mary (but I have no maiden name) born 1829 Barrow, Cheshire
