| Christening* |
John Edwards was christened on 25 May 1771 at Wybunbury, Cheshire, England; While this record is listed for our John Edwards in Ancestral file, I see no evidence that this is our man. Wybunbury was 20 miles away, and these were Anglicans, not Presbyterians. Father is listed as William Edwards of Hath.2,3 |
| Marriage* |
He married Elizabeth Wainwright on 14 October 1791 at Gresford, Denbighshire, Wales, Witnessed by Thomas Evans and Samuel Wainwright. John signed, Elizabeth made her mark. Marriage was by license. Both marked "out of parish," probably because they were Presbyterians and worshipped in Allostock.
Samuel Wainwright was probably father or brother to Elizabeth. Further research is needed. -GEB.4  |
| Death* |
He died in 1826.2 |
| Note* |
The records of the baptism of the children of John and Elizabeth Edwards are found in the baptismal register of the Allostock, Cheshire Presbyterian Church. The register indicated that John and Elizabeth were of the Rosit Parish (Wales, across the border). I was not able to find a record for Ellen in that record. -GEB at Allostock, Cheshire, England.5 |
| Note* |
There were many John Edwards in the Gresford area. Some in the parish register were:
11 oct 1741: John s. Peter of Guersylet
25 apr 1773: John s. John of Burton
30 Jun 1775: John s. William of Hoseley
25 oct 1761: John s. Jacob of Gresford
17 Jul 1748: John s. John of Llay
28 may 1755: John s. Timothy of Rossett
3 sep 1756: John s. John of Alington
26 Nov 1758: John s. William of Burton
12 Jul 1761: John s. John of Gresford
10 Jul 1768: John s. Jacob of Gresford
20 Nov 1772: John s. John of Llay
8 Nov 1772: John s. John of Gresford
26 feb 1749: Timothy Edwards m. Mary Williams
15 Jan 1754: John Edwards m. Martha Locker.
More research is needed. -GEB.6 |
| Married Name |
Her married name was Edwards.1 |
| Christening* |
Elizabeth Wainwright was christened on 19 June 1775 at Wrexham, Denbighshire, Wales; I was unable to find this baptism in the parish register of Wrexham 1754-76. In 1783 there was an Elizabeth Wainwright, but that is too late to be ours. More research is needed. I doubt this entry is valid. -GEB.2 |
| Marriage* |
She married John Edwards on 14 October 1791 at Gresford, Denbighshire, Wales, Witnessed by Thomas Evans and Samuel Wainwright. John signed, Elizabeth made her mark. Marriage was by license. Both marked "out of parish," probably because they were Presbyterians and worshipped in Allostock.
Samuel Wainwright was probably father or brother to Elizabeth. Further research is needed. -GEB.3  |

| Death* |
She died in 1853.2 |
| Note* |
There were many Wainrwrights in the Gresford/Pulford area who left records in the Greshford Parish registers. Focussing on Samuels and Elizabeths, we find:
11 apr 1748: Timothy s. Samuel of Allington
30 oct 1746: Samuel s. Samuel of Allington
11 jun 1753: James s. Samuel of Allington
4 may 1767: James s. Samuel of Pulford
26 dec 1745: Samuel Wainwright m. Elizabeth Mousdale
24 Feb 1774: Elizabeth Wainwright of Pulford (no parents given). She would be the right age.
4 Jun 1722: Samuel s. William of Burton
22 feb 1774: Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth wife of Samuel Wainwright of Pulford who departed this life 22 feb 1774 aged 68. Grave 461. Too old to be the parents of our Elizabeth, but perhaps grandparents?
30 apr 1767: Here lieth the Body of James Wainwright, so of Samuel Wainwright of Puford who Departed this life 30th day of April 1767, aged 12.
