Hi Joe

We have been in contact before about this family. We believe Edward was born in 1790 at Fordwich the son of John and Elizabeth (nee WANSTALL) SOLE. We have not found the date or place that he married Ann Allison.

The information we have on his children is as follows:

Harriet, b 15 Apr 1820 Preston, marr Thomas WALL 12 Oct 1846 Wingham, d 9 Jul 1894 Baltimore, Maryland.
Maria, b before 9 Aug 1821 Preston
Elizabeth, b before 6 Jul 1823 Preston
William, b before 22 May 1825 Preston, marr Sarah Hannah DURLING 19 Aug 1850 New Jersey, d 7 Sep 1895 Cooper County, Missouri.
Emma, b before 7 Jun 1828, d before 1 Jul 1828.
Edward, b before 12 Sep 1830 Preston, marr Harriet UNKNOWN 1855, d 16 May 1924 Cooper County, Missouri.

Some of our information on this family in the USA came from previous correspondence with you. Since then more data has been provided by by one of the Society members. We are not permitted to say who this member is but if you agree I would be happy to ask her if she wishes to make contact.

Best wishes
