Presumably Chelsea Old Palace, Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts?
Amazing how they shipped the body all the way back to Westminster Abbey ..
unless you know of an alternative Westminster Abbey in the USA??

I was a little confused by this point. How did Richard EDWARDES fit into the
earlier numbering system? Are you alleging he was a brother to Henry VIII?

The Massachusetts threw me very much. I don't know where people get their
information to screw it up so bad.

He was suppose to be the son via Agnes a mistress and she married an
Edwardes to give her illegitimate son a name.


This information was submitted to ancestry.com by jr...@lehigh.edu. I will
not submit his real name here however. I feel though he should be corrected
some how.

Because they are ignorant ---- and made more so by their American
education.

Diminishing Returns.

Someone at Lehigh University, who is a dunce, presumably gave you this:

Let me know what you think of this line of Edwardes/Edwards:

1. John Edwards b. 1420 in Denbigh, Wales
.. +Anne Puttenham
.....2. John Edwards b. 1450 Denbigh, Wales
.......+Unknown
.........3. Robert Edwards b. 1475 in London, England
...........+Unknown
............*4. William Thomas Edwards b. 1500 North Petherton,
Somersetshire, England, d. 1547 in London, England
.............4. John Edwards b. 2 Jan 1503/04 in Somersetshire, England, d.
11 Oct 1575 in Horningsham, Wiltshire, England.

* 4. William Thomas Edwards b. 1500 North Petherton, Somersetshire, England,
d. 1547 in London, England.
.....+Agnes/Ann Blewitt b. 1509 Lottisham, Ditcheat, Somerset, England, d.
1575 in Somerset, England.
.......*6. Richard Edwards b. Mar 1525 North Petherton, Somersetshire,
England, d. 31 Oct 1566 in England
.........7. William Edwards b. 1522 in London, England, d. 29 Jun 1563 in
London, England.
.........8. Henry Edwards b. 1523 London, England
.........9. Christopher Edwards b. abt 1524 in London, England.

Does this line make more sense? I would like an honest answer, no beating
around the bush. I need help here so that I can keep my records straight.

*My line. Richard Edwards married Helene Griffith, their son Richard B.
Edwards married Ellenor Thomas, their son Joshua Edwards married Margaret
Babbs and their son William Edwards married Elizabeth Tuttle and their son
William Edwards married Jane Seymour and they had six sons and three
daughters all the sons except for Robert Edwards died in 1690 at the Battle
at Boyne River in Ireland.

Robert Edwards was b.1677 in Wales, d. 1704 in Wales, m. 1702 in Wales to
Elizabeth Francis, b. 1673 in <Wales>, d. 1705 in Wales. I believe their
two sons, Robert and Francis were raised by either their grandparents or an
Aunt. Robert and Francis married and had children and Elizabeth Edwards,
dau. of Francis Edwards, married Henry, the son of Robert Edwards (boy what
a mixed up family I have). Francis Edwards married Ann Leach an ancestor
also of my GGGrandmother Edith Leach-Griffith who was born on board the ship
to Canada in 1819, have been told it is the Maria, from either Wales or
Ireland.

Well enough of my rambling. I sure hope some of you history buffs can help
me.

The part that sent up a red flag for me was: why would a
son, legitimate or otherwise, of Henry VIII (or any
"Henry") be essentially named "son of Edward"? Usually such
sons (not always of course) indicated their bastard royal
status with a "surname" like FitzRoy (son of the king) or
some such, even "Tudor", I suppose. So that is the gap for
me - Henry VIII to your 1st Edwards.

I would love for the line to be true and, furthermore, to
be able to connect it with my own Richard Edwards (I have
two of them along with a Frank William Edwards), but alas -
the earliest one was only a traveling salesman "in Texas or
Utah". Good luck, Bronwen Edwards

If he had been an illegitimate son of a king, especially of
Henry VIII, his mother would not be casting about for a
"name" for him! If anything her new husband would be trying
to link himself to the boy's illegitimate paternity. And,
after all, since Henry VIII was unable to raise to
adulthood any male heirs, I am rather sure that an
illegitimate one would have had a good chance of being
welcomed into his home. Anyway, that's my opinion - the
earlier part of this statement I think is more verifiable.
Best, Bronwen Edwards (nth cousin to Henry VIII)

Hello,

This information, a legend in Somersetshire (I understand), came from
St James Palace along with a miniature of the Elizabethan poet
(reproduced at bobmcclure.com). The word I get is the cleric
overseeing the Chapel Royal had a knowledge of the painting and lent
it to a direct ancestor who in turn reproduced it for me.
