Hertfordshire / Re: WEEDON Family parents of Joseph?
« on: Thursday 19 June 14 15:19 BST (UK) »
I have traced my Weedon's back to Joseph (abt 1757-1827) who married Mary Davies 28 Mar 1779 at St Giles Cripplegate. Joseph's siblings include John (d. 1790 of small pox), George (settled in Uxbridge), and two unmarried sisters Mary Ann and Patience/Patricia who were alive to witness Joseph's will in 1827.
Who are their parents? Family stories claim their father had a large family by his first marriage in Buckinghamshire and then came to London and had these children by his second wife, Mary Howard.
She was of a non-conformist church. Joseph was a habardasher, later generations were drapers and lace merchants.
Any connections to your Weedons? Would also appreciate suggestions for searching pre-1800 Bucks/Middlesex from "across the pond" (Illinois USA)
