- Notes re "Bradford Wills" -

    These wills were made by some of the key Edmonds family players in the Bradford-on-Avon wool industry in Wiltshire in the 1700-1800s. The names in red have wills listed.

    See also "The Cloth Industry That Went Nowhere" for the context of some of these players.

   Edward White and his wife Elizabeth White (nee Stevens) were the parents of Mary White.
   Mary White married William Bennett, and were the parents of Ann Bennett.
   Ann Bennett married Elimelech Edmonds, and were the parents of John and Ezekiel Edmonds (1852).
   John Edmonds married Ruth Hinton, and were the parents of the William Bennett Edmonds who emigrated to South Aust.
   Ezekiel Edmonds (1852) married Mary Hart, whose father was William Hart.
   Ezekiel Edmonds (1772) is a contemporary of Edward White, and possibly the father of Elimelech Edmonds, but this is not proven.
