Hi James i am still looking into this Edgeworth/Edgware scenario and can find no connection i would be grateful if you could actually give me a bibliography of where these statements are made, if you happen to have them I would be grateful. As London is where i was born and bred it has been relatively easy to access info but to date have found none to confirm the name as Edgeworth. It is the historical origin that stumps me as Edgeworth as a name does not describe Edgware by nature as it was. I would also be grateful if you could send me the disjointed info you have on the generations before Francis and Edward. I only have burial details of mother (of Roger and John) Ruth in the Chalfonts. My money will always be on the Edgeworth of Lancashire as the earliest at 1200 something. Anyway anything would be a great help.
