1. John Edwards, son of Edward Edwards and Unknown, was born about 1817 in Glamorganshire, Wales, died on 20 Nov 1892 in Sydney, NSW about age 75, and was buried 22nd Nov 1892 in Waverley Cemetery, Plot 875 CofE Sect 2, New South Wales, Australia.

General Notes: "On 26 05.1842 John & Eliza Edwards sailed from London as assisted emigrants on the Thomas Harrison for Nelson New Zealand where they arrived on 25.10.1842. Also on board were Richard & Elizabeth Lloyd. They were the witnesses to John & Eliza's marriage. I believe Richard was probably Eliza's brother. Son Thomas was born in Nelson in about 1843. Apparently they did not stay long in New Zealand. According to the death certificate for Thomas he spent one year there. I believe they went to Chile. Son John is said on his death certificate to have been born at Valparaiso. All the certificates I have seen seem to have John as 2 years younger than Thomas, so born about 1845-1846. Son Edward is also said to have been born at Valparaiso or Chile on some of his certificates but this is not certain.

There is a strong probability that the family came to Sydney on the ship Emily which sailed from San Francisco on 4 April 1852, via Honolulu on 6 May, arriving at Sydney on 7 July 1852. The passenger list includes “Mr J. Edwards Wife & 3 Sons & 1 Daughter”. At that time the family definitely had 3 sons living - Thomas, John & Edward. They did have a daughter who died before 1860. John's death certificate says he had been about 39 years in NSW which is only one year out from the Emily arrival. On some of the certificates relating to son Edward he (Edward) is said to have been born in San Francisco or California. Edward was born about 1850. It is likely the family was in San Francisco at some time before the Emily's departure.

By 1860 the family was living at Waverley. The birth certificate of Robert David is very informative. From it (the only birth record of any of the children that I can find) come the details of his parent's marriage sufficient to identify it precisely, even though the year is wrong. The ages of each of his siblings are given & allowing a degree of scepticism as to their accuracy it permits tentative conclusions as to their years of birth; Thomas-1843-1844; John-1845-1846; Edward-1849-1850; Charles-1853-1854; Annie-1855-1856. It also shows that 2 boys & 1 girl were already deceased. I think the deceased daughter is the one who came to Sydney on the Emily. There is room for births between John & Edward & Edward & Charles so my guess is that 1 son was born & died in the Americas & 1 in NSW. Although John Edwards' death certificate records 3 male & 1 female children dead I think this is a mistake. The death certificate of Eliza records 2 male & 1 female deceased.

At his marriage John Edwards was a carpenter. He is described as a gardener in 1860 & 1863. In Sands directories he is described as an overseer of roads & municipal overseer, the first identification being at Vickery Street Waverley in 1870 & later at Carrington Street Waverley. I believe he worked for Waverley Council. " Information from family member, researcher IAN DODD.

Medical Notes: Florence was never genetically tested for haemachromatosis as there were no tests in her days. Her son, Ken, has haemachromatosis, so she must have passed it on to him.

Females can be affected and die, but usually aren't. They carry the gene onto the next generation,

Harry's Cafe de Wheels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry's Cafe de Wheels
Type Take Away - (pie cart)
Founded 1938
Founder Harry "Tiger" Edwards
Headquarters Woolloomooloo, Australia

Harry's Cafe de Wheels is a pie cart located in Woolloomooloo, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on Cowper Wharf Road, near the Finger Wharf and Fleet Base East of Garden Island Navy Base, opposite the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel.

Other Harry's Cafe de Wheels operate in Wharf Road, Newcastle, Capitol Square, Haymarket, Sydney Airport and the recently opened Liverpool site.

They are best known for offering the dish of a Pie floater.

History

Harry "Tiger" Edwards opened the original caravan cafe, named simply Harry's, near the gates of the Woolloomooloo Naval Yard in 1938. He served with the AIF in World War II, during which time the cafe was not operational. The cart re-opened upon his return from the war in 1945.

The name Cafe de Wheels came about because of the requirement from the city council that mobile food caravans had to move a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) each day. The cart has been moved by the city council five times over the past 55 years, and is now back at its original spot. Local legend tells that the name was temporarily changed to Cafe de Axle at one point when the wheels were stolen.

As the years passed, 'Harry's Cafe de Wheels' gained new fame as a tourist attraction. A visit to the caravan became a 'must' for visiting celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum and Marlene Dietrich. In 1974, Colonel Sanders stopped at Harry's and enjoyed the food so much that he ate three 'pies and peas' while leaning on his walking stick in front of the caravan. A picture of Sanders taken during the visit still hangs in the caravan today.

Harry's specialises in the same basic food today as was popular back in the 1940s, such as pies and mushy peas. During the 1970s Harry's introduced hot dogs, mostly to appease the American sailors.
