Research Notes

Database Errors: Upon saving on 21 May 2018, the following automated message was received:

Warning: Check the data.
  • A father's death date (Edwards-1874 died 1660) should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates (Edwards-8770 born 1690).
  • A parent (Edwards-1874 born 1610) should not have been born more than 170 years before one of their children died (Edwards-8770 died 2 Nov 1781). This would mean that even if the parent gave birth at 70, the child lived to be over 100.
  • A parent's death date (Edwards-1874 died 1660) should not be more than 120 years before one of their children died (Edwards-8770 died 2 Nov 1781). This would mean the child lived to be over 120.

Discrepancy

  • family appears to originate from Hopton Castle Registers
  • Parent Discrepancy - Joshua may be Fictitious or unrecorded birth - same birth as Josia (listed as dau of Richard)
  • Likely a son (b. 1604-1615) of William or Richard vs Joshua

There is a great deal of conflicting information – Several Source-to-Source discrepancies; co-mingling, Lack of records; conflicting family stories; number of same names, No Middle Names Verified, etc. There were several Same Named Edwards' within the same timeframe (and various locations in close proximity). -- Accounts appear to be fictionalized insofar as "Joshua's Line" This genealogy seems to be inaccurate and appears to have originated with

(a) the famed Edward Heirs Lawsuit;
(b) an erroneous IGI / and
(c) Suspect Peerage entries as well as a series of books published thereafter (restating the same ancestors).
(d) Much of the Early Edwards line captured appears to be "Tree Copy to Tree Copy"; "Unsourced And Undocumented. (and generally conflicts with located record / confirmation.)

Please confirm any information separately from online trees, (this goes for any ancestor, but especially for the Edwards family from Glamorgan, Wales). It seem these trees may originate with a fictitious IGI user submission. See: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.edwards/10292.1/mb.ashx

Edwards-1874 and Edwards-4095 appear to represent the same person because: Edwards-4095 is an 'isolated profile' -- no relationships. If more information is available, please add it to the profile. If no further information is available then because we cannot delete profiles, merging his into a profile with a similar name will be best. Please approve this merge in support of ridding Wikitree of these isolated profiles. Thank you."
