John EDGOOSE, Samuel BAKER, William PRIDGEON and Richard WATERS were appointed constables for Pinchbeck at the Manor Court held on 4 October 1723. No evidence that this is the same John EDGOOSE. (SGS 4 1717-1726 folio 152)

Mary, wife of John EDGOOSE, was buried at Spalding on 22 May 1745.
The parish register of Bourne, Lincolnshire, records the burial on 30 October 1751 of "EDGOOSE a stranger". (PR)
NOTES & QUERIES: 1) Was it really this same John EDGOOSE who was apprenticed to John MIDDLETON? 2) When and where did John EDGOOSE die? Was he the "Edgoose a stranger" buried at Bourne, Lincolnshire, on 30 October 30 1751. 3) Are his sons John and James the John EDGOOSE of Gosberton and the James EDGOOSE of Kirkby-on-Bain? 4) Is he the John EDGOOSE pauper who was buried at Cowbit, Lincolnshire, in 1750? Probably not, because that John EDGOOSE was described as a bachelor. 5) Is this the John and Mary EDGOOSE whose daughter Mary was born and baptised at St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in 1733?
