Ednah Newman Purvey Robins 1798/9 - 1889 Gloucestershire

[Nell]

Birth & baptism
not found, from census info Edna was born abt 1898/9/1800 in Chedworth, Gloucestershire.
I believe she was a daughter of John Newman and Elizabeth nee Bartlett, who had other daughters baptised in Chedworth, Gloucestershire. I think this is right because one of these other daughters was called Charity, and Ednah's son John named one of his daughters Charity. Another known daughter of John & Elizabeth was Sophia Newman, who witnessed Ednah's first marriage

Ednah's first husband was William Purvey and I am descended from this marriage.
They married 16 Aug 1817 when Ednah was a minor. William was a lot older than her and he died in 1836. The marriage register records the bride as "Edner". Witnesses: Thomas Holland & Sophia Newman

Children of Ednah & William Purvey:
Ann b 1820
Jane 1821
Charlotte 1823
William 1824/5
Harriet 1829
John 1833

Only burial found for William Purvey is 1836, so clearly some of Edna's children in 1841 census can't have been his!
