Hi there,
I am trying to trace the EDGECUMBE family in New Zealand.
We are searching for the ancestors/descendents of George EDGECUMBE born 1845 wiltshire married to Annie HUMME.
he moved to NZ with his father Henry born 1817 in Wiltshire, and a few of his younger brothers. One of these i believe to be Francis Henry EDGECUMBE.
George EDGECUMBE co-founded the Waikato Times in the early 1880's with another EDGECUMBE who is probably related to the current Earl. (edward Mortimer EDGECUMBE?)
We think we have the direct line back to about 1600 but a few of these we are not %100 sure of.
George EDGECUMBE'S son was John Harold EDGECUMBE.
I would really appreciated any information you might have regarding this family. OR people who are related to this family i would love to hear from you.
Kind Regards,
Sarah
