  Research Notes:

Alstoniana is clear on the details of Edmonds baptism but the Newton Register is silent on the event. It records only the bap. of John son of William on the 23 Dec 1756 ?. Was this because the date was prior to his fathers marriage or was Edmund bap at Edwardstone.

Edmund married Rachel SKINNER [2782] [MRIN: 857], daughter of William SKINNER of Braintree ESS [2783] and Margery TROTTER [16945], on 4 Feb 1606/07 in St Peter & Paul Black Notley ESS. (Rachel SKINNER [2782] was born in 1586 and was buried on 16 Mar 1659/60 in Newton Nr Sudbury SFK.)
