Hello All Nevada list
I am looking for any information regarding the Edwards family as listed
in the 1880 census. Mary in the family below is my great-aunt born in
Camborne, Cornwall hence my interest.
Joseph Edwards and Mary Rowe married in Tuckingmill Camborne 28 April
1851. Their first child was born in Camborne October 1851, no further
births of children to Joseph and Mary Edwards have been found in
Cornwall, however, the 1880 census of Grass Valley, Nevada, California,
USA lists an Edwards family almost certainly that of 'my' Joseph and Mary.
Joseph Edwards, aged 50 born in England, occ: miner;
Mary Edwards, wife aged 48, born in England occ: keeping house;
Joseph H. Edwards, son, aged 28, born in England aged 28, occ: miner.
Wm John Edwards, son, aged 21, born Michigan, occ: miner.
Thomas R. Edwards, son 22, born Pennsylvania, occ: miner.
Saml Edwards, son, aged 16, born Pennsylvania, occ: at home.
Any information would be welcome.
Thanks
