Lacy,
I am also looking for information on Edward Prince of Lydney and later from Bristol. It appears that he moved to the Americas before 1659. Here he had a family that has trickled down to me. It appears that he died in 1675 in Surrey County in what is now Virginia, USA. He was married to Mary Yate or Yates of Bristol. Hope my information helped you.

There is an Edward Prince a Shoemaker at Dursley aged around 20 of lower stature. Looking at the Help Page as he was of lower stature he was fit to serve with a Caliver. Also Edward Prince aged 40 at Dursley and a Shoemaker.

I would be interested in connecting with any "Prince" family still living in Lydney areas or connecting areas close by. There are many family member in this Prince family line that are buried in the St. Mary's the Virgin churchyard, or as my 10x gr grandfather is inside the church in an isle. It is told he was a man of means, he owned land. He is William Prince (1584-1630) married to Ann. His son Edward was the 1st to immigrate, he came to U.S. in 1635 to the area of Charles City, Virginia. As the families grew, they later started migrating westward into the state of Kentucky, namely the County of Lawrence. This is where my father, his father and so on were from. If there is anyone who lives in this close area that would volunteer to check out the graveyard there for graves of any of this family it would be so appreciated. I am willing to help with info also.

I have been researching for any information on Edward Prince as well. He is my 14th Great Grandfather. I don't have a wife listed but I see that he had a son, John Edward Prince 1525? There is so many conflicting information that I have found. I am trying to figure out what is what! :)

Have you learned any more about Edward Prince who is believed to have immigrated to surrey/ Charles city county, Va? I might be going to Lydney and Bristol and would be interested in following the trail of information. Thanks so much, Molly Prince

I found this WikiTree entry, which you may already have seen :
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Prince-3297
My experience has been that finding any reliable info pre-1700 is very hit-and-miss. Relevant records, if they ever existed, have mostly been lost.
Good luck

A word of caution, give WikiTree a very wide berth. I looked at this site last year and found many errors concerning my own WORGAN and WINTLE ancestors.
A bit annoying to see all these mistakes especially when I have spent over 45 years of careful research, checking original documents at the National Archives, Gloucester Record Office, the Society of Genealogists in London etc and of course, this wonderful site for accurate data.

Good Info on Princes/Prynces in Lydney, now all that is needed is a way of linking the generations into a solid Family Tree.
This looks a lot like the Worgan info I've been working on. Never seems to be quite enough to arrive at any firm conclusions. Still, you never know, more info keeps surfacing on the net.
Happy hunting.
