This information has been culled from internet sources, and so should been treated with suspicion. It has not been checked against paper sources.
The story starts with Charles Reynolds (1760) from Rumburgh, who married Elizabeth Hadnum (1746) who had been born in Huntingdon. When they married in October 1782, Charles was just 22, but Elizabeth was 36. This might mean that this is the wrong Elizabeth, or that the birthdate is wrong. They went on to have ten children.
Their daughter Sarah, born in 1789 married Robert Edments from Thorington when she was just 17. the couple had five children, Robert, James, Sarah, Samuel and Elizabeth.
Their son Robert Edments (born in May 1810) married Anna Eliza (1818) from Mendlesham in Suffolk in Spetember 1841. He worked as an agricultural labourer at the end of his life, although he is registred as a Police Constable in 1851.They had four daughters and four sons. Their street address in 1861 is given as Black Heath in Wenhaston. Their daughter Elizabeth Edments was born in 1847 in Burgh Castle, Suffolk.
Elizabeth married Samuel Barnes (1838), son of James (1811, an agricultural labourer) and Elizabeth (1816) Barnes who had both been born in Cookley, Suffolk. Samuel was ten years her junior. The couple had six children, five girls and one boy. They were called, Selina, Emma, Samuel, Polly, Hannah and Ellen. By the time of the 1881, when the youngest child Ellen was still only 2years old Elizabeth was a widow. Selina's birthplace in 1864 is recorded variously as 'Halesworth, Suffolk' and 'Wissett'. She left home to become a general servant before her marriage.
Selina married Robert Edward Webb, who was a shoemaker and had been born in 1862 in Ipswich, Suffolk, the son of Mary Ann (Carr?) and David Webb. They married in 1884. At the time, Robert's mother was a widow and had been since Robert was a young boy. They lived at 63 Tower Terrace, Ipswich. Mary Ann was a dressmaker.
Selina and Robert's first child, William Henry Webb was born in 1886, and he was followed by Stanley (1887), Ruby (originally called Florence) ( 1889), Albert (1892), Maud (1894), Arthur (1896) and Francis Henry (1899). The 1901 census shows the family as living at 8 Perth Street, on the corner of Stirling Street, in Ipswich. Selina and Robert both died in 1906.
At age 11 , in 1911, Francis appears on the census as a lodger with Mr Fred Bashford at his farm in Chartway Street, East Sutton, Maidstone, Kent. This seems odd at first, until you realsise that Mr Bashford was a blacksmith, an occupation that Francis later followed him in to.
Frank served during World War I in the Bedford Regiment, working with the Horse Transport division of RASC. His home address at t his time is given as Mount Pleasant, Brock Hill, Bracknell, Berks. Francis died in 1970.
Francis married Ethel Ellen Gale in September 1926, in Bradfield, Berkshire, close to where she lived.
The couple married in September 1926 and had three daughters, Peggy (Margaret?), Audrey and Monica Jean (1929)
