Find Family

At the Edwards Family Home Page search for any Edwards family who were descendents of Lt. Col. John Edwards late of the 80th Foot Regiment (Staffordshire Volunteers) 1796 - 1817.
His children included George, William Lindsay, Caroline, John, Frances, Elizabeth and Sarah all born in the Malabar region of India (Tellicherry, Cannaore - West Coast of India, now Kerala) between 1808 and 1817.

I am also researching root family names Luschwitz, Gay, Barton, Orr, Van Ingen, Battenburg, Norris, Cowie, Johnson, Livingstone.

Please contact me if you think we may be related or need information.
