[WED]Wedmore to New York

[John V Hayward]

Hi Charles

Nancy Wall, bap.29/9/1791 marr. William Gibbs 19/10/1813. I do not have a
baptism for William.

Wedmore registers show them having

John   26/6/1814
Jeremiah Wall   30/1/1817
John Porch   30/1/1817
James   22/11/1818
Elizabeth   16/5/1824
Mary   1/7/1827
Charles   17/12/1829
Joseph   18/8/1833


All dates are baptisms. I could not see a baptism for Ann Gibbs 1820.

Nancy Wall is a 5th cousin, 4 times removed.

Assuming you are descended from Nancy and William Gibbs we are related.

Are you prepared to exchange trees with me, and probably many others
descended from one WALL line from Wedmore?

I have Family Tree Maker and we could exchange via GEDCOM.

I look forward to hearing from you. My email address is below.

Best wishes

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