Edward French 1595- has anyone figured out who his parents are?

Question

Im convinced his wife is Anne Worcester not Goodall. However the Worcester family i steadfast about 3 brothers- William, Edward and John coming to America. Could these brothers be my Edward and Anne’s father? Or maybe William and Edward are son and father? I feel there’s more of a connection than just Edward and Anne marrying.

Answer 1

In Family Search (batch number C039662) Edward Frenche was christened in Allesley on 21 Sept 1595, the son of John Frenche.

There is also an older brother, Steven Frenche, christened on 4 August 1594, son of John Frenche.

Vance, yes I have seen this but I guess what my issue is when I add him as a father and Steven as a brother, Edwards children and grandchilden mess up. Meaning they are scattered all over the tree and not children and or parents of who I am listing. I end second guessing myself and screwing my tree up

Answer 2

Here is a link to the profile for Anne French - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Worcester-267 - which has a link to the will of Joseph Worcester (ca. 1658 - ca. 1645) that names an Anne French as his daughter and a link to the will of Rev. William Worcester (ca. 1602-1662), which refers to his brother Edward French.

It seems like a pretty well researched, well thought out profile.

The will is PCC, so it can be seen on Ancestry and TNA Discovery. It mentions "my daughter Anne French".

Thank you. Thats probably the best profile Ive seen on her so far. On ancestry I think the issue is-I list Worcester as Edwards wife but the majority of profiles on Ancestry have either Ann Goodall or Ann Swayne or this other name, not Ann...the name escapes me at the moment but not someone I have seen listed before-as Edwards wife. So when I list Worcester, I think I am not getting accurate "hints" which messes me up or makes me second guess.
