Hi Ian, yes, I have loads about John. He lived and died in Halkyn (d1852)
was married twice, first to Elizabeth Roberts(Halkyn 1821) and second to
Mary Ann Copeland(Liverpool 1839) which is how we know his parents' names.
He had several children, one of whom may be my 2x g-grandfather and a couple
of whom I've traced down through the years and generations but found no
hint. There is no will, I've checked. I was hoping that someone would be
kind enough to check parish reg transcripts that they may have for c1799 to
see if there was a John Edwards s/o Robert Edwards and Jane Thomas somewhere
in Carnarvonshire as that's all I have. Thanks for your interest, Marian

This is a situation where you should definitely try to find a will - a
relatively unusual name (Robert Edward/s) and no place to tie him to!
Look on the National Library website for, let's say, post 1798 wills (to
1858). You could also try the census on Ancestry especially considering
any Robert Edwards who live near your man...
Given the information you have provided it is unlikely anyone will be able
to help and you are likely to have to do the leg work.
Do you know anything more about John that might help? That is, where and
when married, to whom, where she was from, where and when the children
were born, any siblings (ie other children of Robert), census details,
will, gravestone, family stories, information from other relations &c &c.
Yours,
Ian Thompson
