1. The Richard Edwards (son of Thomas Edwards & Anne Lloyd) attached was b. about 1638 in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England - not 1610 - and this is consistent with Penelope's age 2. This is a second marrige for both Richard and Penelope Burke states Richard Edwards of Old Court married 1. Elizabeth Kynaston (heir of Col John Kynaston ) & 2. Penelope Wolseley eldest daughter of Sir Robert Wolseley Bt (and the Richard Edwards attached to this profile is also connected to Elizabeth Kynaston While Penelope (While Penelope Wolseley, mar. (1) ..... Fountaine, and (2) Richard Edwards, of Oldcourt, co. Wicklow (son of Thomas Edwards)/
So on a number of levels these profiles correlate and I see no evidence to believe that the connection is mistaken.
