NOTES/LOG:

Robert EDWARDS

NOTES/LOG:
-- Robert EDWARDS' place of residence was established from a letter he received in York, England from his son John who was living in New Zealand at the time. The letter received from John was published in The New Zealand Journal, London, 23 March 1850, p. 93. Robert's letter to the editor of the journal was from York and dated 1 May 1849. John's letter was written from Wellington, New Zealand and dated 27 Feb 1848.
-- I have searched the entire 1851 census within the city of York and within a 10-mile radius. Nothing.
-- Began 1841 census but hard to read.
-- Check land and probate. These might work.
-- Tried a couple times with death certificates, came up empty. Check perhaps between 1848 and 1850 within the city itself.
-- FHLC England, York, York. Check out the church records again.
-- Land no good. Land has no indexes - arr by year, except Vicars choral subchanters lease book.
-- Register of York Freemen 1680-1986 942.74/Y1; U2m FROM THIS SOURCE, FOUND ON P. 146: "EDWARDS, ROBERT, OF HULL. BRICKLAYER, SON OF CHARLES EDWARDS. SHOEMAKER, FREE 1830.
-- Check The Mount School, York 1785-1814, 1831-1931. 942.74/Y1; J2s.
-- NOTES PREVIOUS TO HERE MADE AROUND 1995. CHECK LAND AND OTHER TYPES OF RECORDS AGAIN IN FHLC FOR UPDATES.
-- Wills would be good to check. York city came under two jurisdictions for probate. Each jurisdiction lists several courts, in order of priority, that should be checked. At a lecture on wills at the UGA convention, 2001, the speaker said that in England, wealth of the person had little to do with whether they made a will, but rather, whether it was a practice in the family. We do know that John Edwards Sr., this person's son, had a will in New Zealand.

Part of York under jurisdictoin of Court of Dean and Chapter of York (Cathedral). Check in the following order:
1. Court of the Dean and Chapter of York (Cathedral)
2. Chancery Court of the Archbishop of York
3. Court of the Exchequer of the Archbishop of York (equal priorty w/next court)
3. Court of the Archdeacon of Richmond
4. Court of the Archbishop of York (P.Y.C.)
5. Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury (P.C.C.)

Part of York under jurisdictoin of Court of the Exchequer of the Archbishop of York. Check in the following order:
1. Court of the Exchequer of the Archbishop of York
2. Court of the Archbishop of York (P.Y.C.)
3. Court of the Dean and Chapter of York (Cathedral)
4. Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury (P.C.C.)
