I am trying to trace the family of my mother. Andrew Eddleston was born in roughly 1818,he married and fathered 3 children, Ann 1838, James 1846, George 1853 all born in the Calais area. He is a Lace anufacturer on Georges marriage certificate 1876
They appeared on the 1871 census, Ann in Nottingham as a servent ? Nanny to the family of Frederick Topham. James in Deptford as a lodger where he married a local girl, they were not on the 1881 census but repappear in 1891 1nd 1901.
George, my great grandfather appeared in sheffield 1871 aged 17, as a clerk then became a brush maker. He met and married a local girl and died in Sheffield about 1920
Does this mean anything to anyone?
I think Andrew died in the 1860s

Yur Andrew died in 1899 inCalais - he married Sarah Taylor in Dover in 1833. This wasn't unusual. This is a huge story and I have further records to share with you - need to confirm you are still at this address!

I needed to get back further than your dad to make the connection to the Eddletones in Calais.

I have two george Eddlestones - George Eddlestone born 25 June 1872 in Calais, the son of Frederick Eddlestone and Julianne de Wynter.

Frederick was born in Calais also - 29 Dec 1847, the son of Andrew Eddlestone and Sarah Taylor. Andrew was a laceworker - tulliste, indicating he operated a Leavers machine. He died in Calais in 1899 aged 91. He married Sarah Taylor in Dover in 1833 - Sarah wasn't born in Calais but had lived there with her family since ast least 1826. Her parents were Joseph Taylor and Anne Wheatley and she was one of eight children.

At the time of Sarah's death the family were living in rue Neuve in St Pierre. Sarah also had an Uncle George Taylor in Calais.

I have further detail of the family but am not sure what you need,
