Many thanks, Cornish Terrier Re:Eddy Family

Hi CT,

Up-date....EDDY, South Africa.

Can't thank you enough for going through your old files and finding a Contact email for the Eddy family, which lead me to my cousin in South Africa ;D

We have been exchanging emails/photographs ever since, and I hope to meet her daughter when she comes to the UK.

I have found some more of my Eddy family from Trewellard in Gilpin, Colorada. Daughter Grace Eddy1859, parents Richard Eddy 1814 and Mary Walls 1820.

I can email the information to you if you haven't already got it.

Hi Poppy - very nice to hear from you with your progress and very glad I have been able to help!

I would appreciate the additional information if you don't mind please.

I must admit that I have not done much on the family for a couple of months as have been busy transcribing for the OPC site.

But I have found a lot more Eddy references and I intend to work through them all to update the work I had commenced.

Identifying the correct links of some of the Eddy families back beyond 1820 was proving a challenge but I have already managed to find a couple so there is hope that I will manage more.

Hi CT,

Email on it's way.

Some of the information might cause you another headache. I have found the daughter Agnes Henwood whose mothers maiden name was Grace Eddy marrying a Thomas Eddy from Cornwall, in Gilpin, Colorado

Regards,

So what's one more headache!? Surely my brain is beyond pain by now! ;D

I will take a look and see if I can work out who this Thomas Eddy might have been.

Hi CT,

Saved you a headache. Found his Naturalisation papers .

Thomas Jacob Eddy from St Just, Cornwall and states his wife as Agnes.
In 1900 USA census they have a Boarder William Eddy b1897.
This fits nicely with their parents being Richard Eddy
1840 and wife Elizabeth J living at Nanjulian in 1881

Well done ... and thank you!!

I can relax for a little longer before getting stuck into transcriptions and other work again.
