I have found a burial for an Edward Badger 11 April 1853 at Newlands PC, aged 70 years old and residing at Berry Hill. I have searched the FoD records and found no other Edward Badger who fits in with this burial.

I have a great gggGrandfather, Edward Badger born in Staffordshire in 1783 (70 years old in 1853). He was living in Merthyr 1816 to 1849, but then dissapears entirely.

The last we know of Edward is when he was handed 6 months hard labour at Swansea prison in 1849, after which he just dissapears.

If this is my Edward I don't understand why he finished up in the Forest of Dean (although it is a lovely place to end up). As well as searching the FoD records for other Edwards I have also searched for possible family who he could have moved in with but without any result.

Does anyone on the site have a claim on this Edward Badger. I have searched for this death for quite a while. I suppose I may in the end have to get the death certificate to see if there is an informant.
