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

[John V Hayward]

Hi Nancy

Do you have the ancestors of George Redman?

I have a William Redman who married Elizabeth Carver at Wedmore 31/5/1827. I
am a 6th cousin 3 times removed from Elizabeth Carver and therefore related
to any of their descendants.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

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