24. Edward Charles Henry Andrews

Edward Charles Henry Andrews was my great-great grandfather, and father of Frederick Chisnall Andrews.

He was born c 1829 in Wenshaston, Suffolk.

He married Amelia Norman Andrews. According to their marriage certficate, they were married in the parish church of St Clements Ipswich on 8 February 1873. They were both 'of full age'. Edward Charles Andrews was a widower and a gentleman by rank or occupation living at Claydon, Suffolk. His father was Edward Andrews farmer. Amelia Norman Andrews was a spinster living at St Clements Ipswich. Her father was William Joseph Andrews, miller. The witnesses were Robert Alexander Cook and Ellen Maria Andrews. They were married by licence, rather than after banns. I seem to recall from my 1977 research that this was his second marriage (to one of the servants?), and presumable explains why Frederick did not inherit very much and had to move to London to find work.

According to his birth certificate, Frederick Chisnall Andrews was born on 29 June 1876 at Claydon in the Bosmere registration district of Suffolk, subdistrict of Coddenham, in the County of Suffolk. His father was given as Edward Charles Andrews (profession: Gentleman) and his mother was Amelia Norman Andrews, formerly Andrews.

Frederick, but not Amelia, was recorded with his father and family in the 1881 census as living at Grooms Farm, Hessett, Suffolk:
