Last Edited: 4 Feb 2017
- Baptism*: Edward Waite was baptized on 23 June 1731 at Leigh, Kent, EnglandB.
- He was the son of William Waite and Elizabeth Goldsmith.
- Marriage*: Edward Waite married Catherine Cox on 23 October 1760 at Tonbridge, Kent, EnglandB, Edward is "of Leigh".1,2
- Anecdote*: There are two possibilities for the Edward that married Catherine Cox. One is Edward bap 1733 son of Thomas and Mercy Waite, and the other is Edward bap. 1731 son of William and Elizabeth Waite, also at Leigh, and the latter one is the one shown here as married to Catherine Cox. Only an analysis of the children's names leads to a debateable conclusion that, on a balance of probablities, the parents for the first Edward (bap 1733) are Thomas and Mercy Waite. In any case, their fathers William and Thomas were brothers, and either one would lead to the same WAITE grandparents of Edward and Elizabeth Waite of Leigh. Identifying any children of Edward and Catherine may help resolve this further.
