Jeremiahs father was Job b 1821 - 1906 in windsor Essex wife Rosa Swann 1819-1886 marr in 1863
Jobs father was William Hedges 1776 in Essex wife Susannah.
I have used Genes Reunited before but I much prefer Ancestry.co.uk.
Would love any info on Jeremiah and would love to be able to go further back than William.
Many thanks

Hi, I am new to this site but wish I had found it 3 yrs ago when I started researching into my hubbys ancestry. His grandfather was Walter hedges son of Jeremiah Hedges. I have filled in soooooooo many gaps with the help of all of you on here. Now I can put Job Hedges' (1821) father as William 1776, I have been stuck on this for 12 months. Does any one know any background on Jeremiah Hedges 1849. My late father in law said that my late mother in law had said that when Jeremiah died people lined the streets and apparently there are newspaper photos of it. My hubbys cousin also confirms this as she has seen the pic herself many yrs ago. Any help you can give will be gratefully received.   :) :) ;)

Since I posted this I have found that I am on the wrong track a bit
