Levi Edwards born 1842 Bolton. He married Betsy Haslam 22nd Feb 1868 Holy Trinity Bolton. Levi 24 Collie ( The Willows) and Betsy 20 Frame tenter. Address given Venture Street. Fathers name Robert Edwards and Robert Haslam. Levi shown with his grandmother Sarah Edwards nee Bowden. Same as a previous post I wrote re James Edwards in same household shown as grandson.

Sarah Bowden married John Edwards in 1821. There are children William Bowden and a Lavinia Bowden before marriage. Would like to know if John Edwards married before and had a sons Robert and Thomas?

I am having trouble finding anything :-\
