Edward Gatward was probably born around 1770 in Essex, and would have married Mary Unknown in the 1790’s. They had at least three children, Edward (b:1798), Roger (b:1799), and Samuel (b:1801) who were all baptised at St Andrew’s Church, in Great Yeldham, Essex. I have hit a brick wall with this couple and would be interested in any information that may tell me:
- When and where they married?
- Where and when Edward was born?
- Mary’s maiden name?
- Where and when Mary was born?
- When and where did Mary die? (Edward died in Castle Hedingham, 1837)
Any further information gratefully received.
I found a 1841 Census listing for an Edward Gatward age 44 from Castle Hedingham. I am trying to find the parents of my great grandmother, Elizabeth Gatward, but she is from Bedfordshire.
Hi, I was wondering whether you have made any progress on Edward Gatward (b c.1771)? I am tracing my nephew’s tree and he is a descendant of Edward through his son Edward. I can’t make any progress back on this line either.
Regards
Sarah
No progress at all on this one. I keep coming back to them, and have spent many many hours on the Essex archives looking for any clues, but nothing of interest found as yet.
