'There is an 'old message' on Gloucestershire Rootsweb, about the EDWARDS family of North Nibley - 10 April 2006

'researching the Edwards family of North Nibley. Isaac and William EDWARDS married and settled in North Nibley in 1784 and 1788 respectively and John and Susanna had their first child in North Nibley in 1792. None of the three were born in North Nibley and...... am trying to find out where they came from. I do not know that they are related, although William's decendants include sons called Isaac which might indicate a link. At his wedding William is stated as being of Minety, but he was not born there. Isaac died in North Nibley in 1832 at the age of 80 so presumably was born circa 1752'
