Shared note

In the 1841 census, Richard was living with his son, Richard, in Morvah. He is recorded as Independent, aged 86. This age would suggest he was born abt 1755, but I cannot find a baptism for a Richard in that year. However, there is one baptised 9 Apr 1757, Morvah, son of Andrew. As there are no apprpriate alternatives and also given that Richard has a grandson named Andrew, I believe this to be the correct baptism.

Looking for possible wives of Richard, assuming Richard was at least 18 when married and was married before his son Richard was baptised, possible marriages between 1773 and 1787 in and around Morvah are Richard and: (a) Catherine ROBERTS, 14 Feb 1774, Madron (b) Catherine CHRISTOPHER, 13 May 1776, Zennor (c) Ann TRENBATH, 22 Sep 1781, Gulval (d) Elizabeth TREMBATH, 29 Jan 1785, Zennor (e) Margaret INGWIN, 15 Jun 1786, Zennor

Of these I have researched (c) and can eliminate her. Although not certain, I believe (d) is the wife of this Richard, as Richard has a granddaughter (by his son, Richard) named Elizabeth Trembath EDDY.

There are other children that could belong to Richard and Elizabeth, but it is difficult to say with any surety since only Richard was recorded in the baptism registers. Baptisms for children of Richard in and around Morvah after 1785: (A) Henry EDDY«tab»15 May 1785«tab»Gulval«tab» (B) Elizabeth EDDY«tab»08 Jan 1786«tab»Zennor«tab» (C) Richard EDDY«tab»04 Mar 1787«tab»Morvah«tab» (D) William EDDY«tab»01 Mar 1788«tab»Madron«tab» (E) Jane EDDY«tab»19 Apr 1788«tab»Morvah«tab» (F) William EDDY«tab»12 Apr 1789«tab»Gulval«tab» (G) Edward EDDY«tab»11 Jun 1791«tab»Gulval«tab» (H) John EDDY«tab»10 Nov 1793«tab»Gulval«tab» (I) Philip EDDY«tab»06 Feb 1807«tab»Zennor«tab» (J) Richard EDDY«tab»17 Feb 1808«tab»Zennor«tab» (K) Thomas EDDY«tab»27 Aug 1809«tab»Zennor«tab» (L) David EDDY«tab»07 Jul 1811«tab»Zennor«tab»

Of these I have attributed (A), (F), (G) and (H) to other families; (C) and (E) to Richard and Elizabeth. Of the remaining I think (I), (J), (K) and (L) will probably belong to another couple as there is a 19 year gap between (E) and (I). This leaves (B) and (D) as other possible children of Richard and Elizabeth, with (B) a strong case - named after her mother.

Notes from Geoff McKee: Richard EDDY was buried aged 88 of Trevean.
