Shared note

Looking at possible marriages for John in and around St Just gives: 1. John EDDY and Mary GROSE, 1 Jan 1766 St Just. (Probably not this John as he was baptised in 1749 so would've been abt 17 which is suspiciously young. Also, this marriage was witnessed by a John EDDY, probably father of the groom.) 2. John EDDY and Mary HODGE, 1 Jan 1770 Madron. (Probably not this John as there was a witness, Richard DELAHAY, who would've been brother in law to the John EDDY to whom I've attributed this marriage.) 3. John EDDY and Mary WILLIAMS, 2 Nov 1772 St Just. 4. John EDDY and Ann OLIVER, 30 Oct 1774 St Just. 5. John EDDY and Jane ROWE, 19 Apr 1780 Sancreed. (Probably not this John as recorded as 'of this parish'.) 6. John EDDY and Joan CASLEY, 28 Jul 1781 St Just. (Note she was recorded as a widow.) 7. John EDY and Rachel WARREN, 9 Nov 1782 St Just. 8. John EDDY and Avice OLD, 17 Oct 1795 Madron. (Probably not this John as aged 46 is starting to get a bit old, plus recorded as of the Town of Penzance.)

Marriages 3, 4, 6 and 7 are the more likely and whilst looking into children baptised to John and Mary/Ann/Joan/Rachel, there is one baptism that immediately stands out: Susanna EDDY, 26 Mar 1786 St Just, daughter of John and Mary. Presumably Susanna would have been named after this John's mother and therefore I believe that marriage 3 is the correct one.
