My husbands grandfather was Edwin Edwards b. 1877 Bromley. His father was William Thomas Edwards. I have found them on the 1881 and 1891 census but cannot find him on earlier ones. Can anyone help please?

Hi Glitter Baby

This family is causing me such a headache. In so many ways it seems if it is the right family but not sure. I have checked bmd records and cannot find an elias edwards born in Maidstone, so perhaps it is the right one but wrong name on census. Who knows!
Thanks anyway

Hi Hilary
I too think that the one Glitter Baby has found is the correct one as Edwins father was born in Maidstone according to the 1891 and the one she has found also was born in Maidstone
