Hello
I am trying to find a birth of Edmund Wilcox he married Jane Fletcher and they had children Hannah 1769,jonathan 1772, Elizabeth 1774, Esther1780, timothy 1785, Silas 1787 and Paul 1787 all born in Frampton Cotterell in Gloucestershire.
I can find no births of any Edmund wilcox anywhere I know he had a brother Robert and I am guessing Edmund was born around 1740 ish I can not find a birth of Jane Fletcher either so have hit a brick wall.
Any help of advise would be apreciated.
THANK YOU

Hi Penny

I have no idea where they married as I cant find it but again I guess that it was in Frampton Cotterell as that is where all the children were born and stayed in that area so looks like they were not the moving around kind of people.
This is a hard one as I have no clues on Edmund or Jane at all.
Thank you

As you don't know when or where Edmund was born, how do you 'know' he had a brother named Robert?
