[WED]Wedmore to Iowa. Do you know the ship and date ?

[John V Hayward]

Hi Elaine

Amelia Wall was bap. 11/3/1841 to William and Elizabeth, Farmer of Heath
House. Page 129, record 1025.

William Wall was bap. 27/8/1835 to Robert and Sarah. possibly a Painter of
Wedmore. Page 73, record 581.

Quickly I could not see their marriage. A Wall was a founder member of the
local Methodist Chapel, the marriage may have been there. Alternatively did
they marry in the States.

We could well be related! I'll a spend bit of time on it over the weekend.

Look for John Haward, born 1722 and then to Index.

5
