* A letter written by Edward Edwards ( brother of Anna Edwards Hornblower ) to his nephew, William Edward Hornblower, dated 25th October 1837 of 11 Goulden Terrace, Islington, London, England. Addressed to W.E. Hornblower, 385 Pearl St., New York - unfortunately, the street address has been renamed or no longer exist in Islington. - digital copy of this letter is available from myself, ScottishPiper.
The Original letter was last held by William Watson Doolittle, 2nd great grand-nephew of Edward Edwards, in 1957 of Binghamton, NY. and was re-typed from hand written form.
Two other letters followed in 1839 and 1840.
W.W. Doolittle had sent copies of these letters to his 1st cousin, Stanley Livingston Brown, of Portville, NY as he too was a 2nd great grand-nephew of Edwards.

Information, photos and documentation was originally obtained through correspondence between cousins Henry Hornblower of Boston, MA. and William Watson Doolittle of Binghamton, NY in 1935 ( his mother was former Nora Mae Hornblower and father was Eli Watson Doolittle) and then sent from William W. Doolittle to his cousin, Stanley Livingston Brown of Portville, NY. The last exchange of the Hornblower history between Mr. Watson and Mr. Brown was in 1957. Somehow it was kept by the Stout family. By 2013, my mother's cousin ex-husband, Roy Robbins, had received a copy of much collected documentation and some photographs through his genealogy research of the Stout family as they had family ties with the Hornblower's through marriage. It is greatly appreciated that Mr. Roy Robbins had shared this information and provided me with digital images for my own records.
*" Hornblower Family. —Miss Ellen M. Burns, of Albany, New York, writes: "William James Hornblower, born in 1796, in London, married April 23, 1818, Anna Edwards, daughter of Edward Edwards, and grand-daughter of the Earl of Pernuny( ?). They came to this country in 1831 with their family, first to New York, later to Boston. Issue: 1. Edward Thomas, born at Islington, England, October 13, 1828, married Martha B. Whiting, at Dedham, Massachusetts. 2. Henry." This family do not appear to have been at all closely connected with the New Jersey Hornblowers, who are descended from Josiah Hornblower, who came to America in 1754."* /

* There is no supportive evidence that Anna Edwards Hornblower's grandfather was an earl. Researching current listing of Earls in peerages of England had found no such earl of Pernuny or Pevensey in which the Edwards family held such title. However, this does not exclude the possibility that an Edwards family ancestor did not hold an authority position having resided in Pevensey, Sussex, England region.
William J. and Anna's son, Edward Thomas Hornblower and his son Henry Hornblower, were very successful entrepreneurs and founders of the Boston & New York Stock Exchange firm Hornblower and Page, later the firm became famously known as Hornblower and Weeks.

Edward Edwards was born in 1799 at Pevensey, Sussex, England and married Charlotte Akers Webster on 1 Dec. 1829 at St. Mary's, Islington, London (Middlesex), England.
Edward and Charlotte had 4 daughters, Charlotte Ann, Elizabeth M., Emma M. and Jane; a son, Frederick Edwards.
Edward Edwards died on June 18, 1884 and Charlotte Akers Webster Edwards on December 14, 1884 both in Islington, Middlesex, England. Burial is unknown. The family had resided at 11 Goulden Terrace, 2042 Barnsbury Road, Islington, Middlesex, London in 1841 the place where he wrote his letters to Wm. E. Hornblower and by 1881 he was a retired Soliciting Clerk residing on Harvest Rd., Islington. As around the year of 1850 and later, Islington , a small northern suburb of the City of London had become poverty stricken and overpopulated/ crowded with households containing at least 9 people in a 2 bedroom residence. In 2016, Islington is still considered a poor and degraded community with a large population living in poverty. Parts of Islington was reconstructed after the bombings of World War II but to no avail in changing its impoverish status. Islington is not a place for tourism as of the year 2018 due to very poor living conditions and one of the highest crime rates within the Greater London boroughs. I can't even vividly image what it was like for my 5th great Uncle Edward Edwards and his family endured while residing in Islington during the 1830's - 1884. Surely it had to be better back then than it is today in year 2018. Note that Pevensey, Sussex, England has little to offer other than visiting the very old St. Nicolas church and the old Pevensey castle both with historic significance. A nice one day out of the way stop if you want to get away from London for a couple days.
