Thread: Edmonds Family

  1. #1

    Default Edmonds Family

    The Edmonds family appear to have been in the Devon area since the 1600's and I can trace a Gideon Edmonds back to when he was a rector at St Mary's in Exeter 1636. His son Gideon takes over as rector and then I lose him. The family covers Black Torrington, Shebbear, Holdsworthy, Bideford. I have Edmund Edmonds born in Shebbear Jan 1788 Married Rebecca and died July 11 1861 Cwnafan Swansea. He had 18 children. His father was John. I can come forward but Im stuck between Gideon (elder) and John, and all I have is his name. I am a direct descendant, my father was Richard James Edmonds born in Masterton NZ. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Meri

    Meri, I think I'm missing something. Why do you think that the two Gideons are the ancestor of Edmund?
    For example, who were Edmund's parents?

    There's a marriage on FMP (image/transcript)of Gideon Edmonds, occupation Clerk, residence Combintinhead and Joanna Buckland on 8 Feb 1626 at Clist St George (as transcribed). The image is not the original record - it too is a transcription.
    Would appear to tie in with the 1 hit you should get from previous post?

    Giddion Edmons and Mrs Luse Cros at Heavitree, 10 Apr 1662 (as transcribed). I suspect it's Lucy looking at the original?

    On the basis that Gideon, married 1626, is unlikely to be the father, a reference to a possible 2nd Gideon Edmonds appears -

    Thomas, the son of Gideon Edmonds (Rector of St. Mary Arches in Exon) was baptised April fourteenth 1663 at St. Mary Arches.
