Hi Carrie, I don't know much about them at all, I think they had at least 1 son named David J Edwards(same name as his father) he was born c1853.
You say the ones you have come up with were born 1819.
I understand they were both buried in Cirencester-if that's any help.

There are too many John Edwards marrying a Mary/Mary Ann for the area and time, best to send for David's BC to get her maiden name and remember, David the son he was born 1853
