The surname Edser originates in Surrey near the Tillingbourne Valley in the place name of High Edser in Ewehurst, and I believed that almost all contemporary Edsers can trace their roots to ancestors in the area of the villages of Shere, Abinger, Stoke d’Abernon and adjoining parishes in the early 19^th Century.

This website is intended to be a repository and source of information for all investigating their Edser ancestors.

The site intended to hold a database of all Edser records publicly available or volunteered and that all these records should as far as possible be combined into one large family tree linking all Edsers together.

I hope that those with information more specific than the available indexes will contribute their information.

If you have any information that will be of benefit, or wish to know more, please e-mail me at [email protected]

“The Tree”

The tree I have created is in the form of a Brothers Keepers database (BK6 is a genealogical shareware program available off the web) It has been created with data from:-

· The International Genealogical index

· The 1881 Census

· Additional information from Parish registers including burials (included on this web site)

· Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates I have obtained for my own family

· Family tree provided by Bernie Mitchell of New Zealand

I have linked all of the above information in a best fit. This of course has require some assumptions to be made and cannot therefore be relied on as an information source. There are definitely errors; some introduced knowingly where I have created overlarge families where I could not identify a natural break, and multiple marriages where I could not determine the correct spouse. Your help in removing these errors will be appreciated.

I have also published the data on this site as gedcom files using GEDPAGE . This however does not give all the information contained in the database
