I had a similar situation. A second cousin found some fascinating information about a relative who went America, married twice and had several children. All very well documented. I then found her living in London where she had been born, so it was a pure coincidence of the same unusual name and date of birth. The unfortunate thing is, that the second cousin who added the information to her online tree has since died, so there is no way to remove it. Consequently it has been added to several other trees.
Oh Jan, that is bad luck. I fear I could be going the same way, hope not.
Wish you luck but it sounds like a square peg and a round hole and Edward Readman and Mary Moran don't fit what you already know.
Sandra,
I have all the records you mention and more. I have entry from Baptist Register showing Edward Readman Jnr death 1831 adminstrators wife Ann and father Edward Readman and Edward Readman Snr. death 1833 Joseph Redman administrator. The spelling could be cause for concern and it never bothered me before now, just assumed in was mistranscribed. However son Joseph is Redman correct spelling younger son David is not? I don't think I should get too hung up on the Readman name. I honestly don't think Edward and Mary, if they exsist are mine.
The book is in circulation in States. I could purchase from Amazon for $79 plus carriage. There was mention of it on someones tree. I got copy of a couple of pages from this book from a library in Indiana who help me. The lady Darlene on the trees, yes I contacted her by email and by letter, left messages on ancestry sites, no reply, perhaps she is dead.
My newpaper contact ignored all my mails so far,
I have an Andrew Taylor Redman not Anthony. The Redman names change back an forth throughout my research.
On another thread about this subject (sorry cant copy and paste) there was a reply from someone in Australia I think, who said it was
highly likely and possible for 2 families to have same names and dates of birth, this is what got me worried.
Thanks Sandra and Jan for input and help. I will not give up. I will contact the library and ask for more information on the book and keep trawling the net for any more snippets on Readman or Redman.
Jane
