Research Notes

1. The 1851 and 1861 Census records list "Frederick" Gedney, but do not list an Edwin.It is likely that Edwin is called Frederick. A baptism record for Frederick has not been found on FreeReg or Family Search (using dob range 1840-1850)

2. Betsey and Fred Gedney in the 1881Census surely cannot be daughter and son of John and Elizabeth; they are too old. They are more likely to be their daughter-in-law and grand son ie Charles Gedney's wife and child.

3. It is possible that Mills was John's father's surname. It is interesting to note that John did not record his middle name in any of the documents sighted in this research.
