Hi
Does anyone know of this family from the Wilmington area of North Carolina,
my Great Grandad was Charles Henry Ralwing he was a slave cotton weigher and married to Agnes Ralwing.
Im not sure if this was their name as it was customary for slaves to take the family name they worked for.
As I am aware they had 3or 4 sons who came to Britain in the 1850's, one being my Grandad Charles Henry who went to Scotland , the other three staying in England .
I had never met any of them but would dearly love to find any family members in America .
If you think you may recognise or are part of this family please get in touch, or if anyone has any tips as to how I can investigate this further I would be very grateful
Thankyou
kind regards
