WALSH/ ADAMS Family History
Enquiries to Neil Stanton
 
Family Tree for : (11979) Edward Ward? [DAVY?] ADAMS Edward is a member of the ADAMS family, which is connected to the extended WALSH family. He is a direct ancestor of the WALSH ``cousins``
Unable to confirm any records for Edward prior to birth of first ADAMS child 1855.
From censuses, the only likely Edward from his given birthplaces(Scamlesby and Keddington) is Edward DAVEY 1841 and Edward W DAVY 1851(seems to be same person). No birth refs found for ADAMS in either place.
Scamlesby and Keddington are opposite sides of Louth, yet he gives both as his birthplace. Mary is from N.Somercotes nearby.
Edward W DAVEY seems to be Edward Ward (mother`s maiden name) and is married 1851

Michael and Sarah(WARD) DAVEY are the parents of Edward Ward DAVEY, who seems to change his name to Edward ADAMS (birth & burial refs are as Edward Davey ADAMS).
However they are NOT the parents of Joseph DAVEY (b1823), but Joseph lists Edward W as his `brother` 1851.
several possible discrepancies regarding this family - but all noted refs do seem to fit together.
