Hi,
For about 3 years I have been trying to trace my 5xG/Gdad. mY 4Xggd Richard Edmondson who married Rebecca Wilkinson in 1773 at Marton in North Yorkshire. Then went to live in Broughton the next village.
I have found no positive pointer to my 5xGGD even having had several Church Record films from my Local LDS Library.So, how much can one accept from the IGI. Thinking on the lines of naming children after Parents, G Parents etc, how much credence can one put on it.
From the top. The License says Richard was, '25 years and upwards' Rebecca 18. So Richard must have been born somewhere in the 1740s! Noting that there were hardly any Edmondsons in the Church Records of Broughton or Marton prior to Richard marrying Rebbeca.
A Joseph E. married in Barnoldswick (6 miles from Marton) in 1728 and had 9 children, a son Richard in 1742
A Joseph was born to Thomas E + Mary Kitching of "Rilston" near Skipton, who's father was Thomas.
Rebecca's father was John Wilkinson who married Rebeccah Croasdall 1745.
John's father was Jonathon W and Rebeccah's father was John C.
With me so far??. Richard my 4xG/Gdad had 3 Sons. John (1774) Richard (1780) Thomas (1782) Who went to live in Rilston (where Thomas Kitching lived!!)
How much of this is possible and how much fanciful
