Edwin Rodbourn or Rodburn b. 1818, Berkshire, UK
Edwin Rodbourn was born on the 23rd Jan 1818 Shrivenham, Faringdon, Berkshire, England, probably in the village of Bourton.In 1844 he was definately in Bourton but in 1851 he was in Highworth, Wiltshire and married to Mary Adams (b Chiseldon, Swindon, Wiltshire).
Edwin and Mary had 4 children; Mark b. 8 Oct 1844 in Bourton, Shrivenham, Berkshire, Thomas b. abt 1848 in Highworth, Wiltshire, Charles Edward b. abt. 1852 in Highworth and Edwin J Rodbourn b. abt 1862 in Swindon, Wilts.I am descended from Mark.
Edwin was a Labourer from 1844 - 1851, but then his fortunes seem to have improved as in 1862 he was an Inspector for the Great Western Railway.In 1881 we find he and his wife Mary living with his son's household at the Horse Shoes Public House in Bristol as a retired railway inspector.He saw a lot of change in his life I think.
