In need of help please. Hoping to find information on the husband of Ivy Wilby.
She married 1926 in Croydon to John R Weatherstone.  It’s highly likely he died before 1939 as Ivy remarried in 1939 to M. Brown.  I found a couple of deaths which could be him but it’s all guesswork until I find more info on John.

I have found a Trial  for Larceny of a George Redman in Sussex,  28th November 1838.  He was found Not guilty.  His age is given as 38 making his DOB 1800.  The birth date of my  Gt x 2 Grandfather who lived in Sussex is 1800.  .  I have printed out the pages of the court record book.  I am wondering if there is any way to find out any more details or even if there would be more to find? Where the Court was or where he lived.  I did try TNA but nothing came up for me .  I just did a general search for George Redman putting year 1838.

Just have to share this with you. A fellow researcher helping with my Redman line found a rather interesting tree, however the finds should be taken with a kilo of salt!  The owner is same generation as me , he/she descends from the brother of my Gt x 1 Grandfather.  Whereas I can only go back with proof to our Gt x 4 Grandfather   he/she  goes back to 1100's,  and no proof.

We have Knights of the Realm, Lords and Ladies, Members of Parliament, a  Speaker of the House of Commons and more. Most of these can be found by googling.  Apparently we come from France.  After the Battle of Hastings one Adam d'Avranches was given land, the spoils of victory from the battle  and became Lord of Yealand and Silverdale in Cumbria he also had land a few miles away called Redman . His son called himself de Redman (Redmayne) which means  of Redman.  The de was eventually dropped in 1500.  After 400 years they are in Sussex no titles, no wealth,  mainly labourers or farmers. .

For fun I looked into the tree and finds more closely and can  not find a shred of evidence  to connect my poor Sussex Redmans  to the Yorkshire nobles.  To add insult to injury he/she got the death of our Gt x 2 Grandfather completely wrong and mentioned a death of his mother which can not be found, believe me I have tried.

So I just don't believe it.   Maybe Tree Owner will see this post and prove me wrong?

This is what the second lockdown had driven me too, lol. But its been fun.

Stay safe everyone





 

My Great x 3  Grandfather Edward Redman and second wife Jane and 7 children emigrated and I believe settled in Posey Indiana. I found 3 of their sons quite easily but only one is actually documented as being born in Uk. I can get them up to 1990’s.  There is another son Jesse but have found absolutely nothing on him. Also there are 3 more children , 2 girls and an Elisha is that name male or female.  My worry is that I don’t have enough proof so have been re-visiting my research but lack of resources and knowledge of US family history is frustrating me.

My question, is there anyone out there who has English Redmans in their tree?  Or anyone able to help with look-ups or anything really. Obviously I can give more detail but didn’t want to confuse you all.

I have posted a few times on this subject so apologies if I am doing this all wrong. Tbh it’s just a massive plea for help
