This is very helpful - many thanks. I'm passing it on to my cousin in Canada who may know more about the side of the family you are interested in. Do you know whether any descendants on the Paley side might know more about the Edwards connection? George Edwards' grandfather William Edwards is the one we are particularly interested in. He had an interesting life, being brought up in a workhouse with unknown parentage although there has always been the suggestion that there was a link to the Royal family in some way. I'm not sure how this works but feel free to email me direct at nick.marcar(a)hotmail.co.uk.
Good to establish a connection! Nick

Hi,
I have information about George Robert Edwards - he married Katharine (KATE) Isabella Paley Cockshott Rogers Smith in 1916 in Vancouver but then they moved to the USA - San Francisco area. It doesn't look like they had any children (see US 1920 Census). Some of the info I have follows below:
George Robert Edwards
Birth 17 Mar 1884 in Love Lane, London, Middlesex, England
Death 19 Jan 1948 in Alameda, California, USA
***
Married 22 Nov 1916 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Marriage Index: 1872 to 1924 -Vital Event Marriage Registration. Groom Name: George Robert Edwards; Bride Name: Katherine Isabella Smith; Event Date: 1916 11 22 (Yr/Mo/Day); Event Place: Vancouver; Reg. Number: 1916-

I just found this:

Hope this helps. I'd really like to find out what happened to Kate's mother, Mary Ann (Paley) Cockshott Rogers. We think she came over to Canada in 1903 and then we lose track of her. Thought she might have gone to Vancouver and the US with Kate and her family, but she doesn't show up in censuses with them...
Cheers,
Jo-Ann

Hi there. We are researching the other side of the family, ie. Catherine's second husband George Robert Edwards (marriage date 22.11.16, British Columbia, Canada). In particular were there any children from this marriage and what do they know about George and his father and grandfather? George is my great great great uncle. Look forward to hearing from you
