Seamer (Seymor) Redenton (Ridington)

[LindseyB]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please.

Ann Ridenton was my 4th great-grandmother.  She was baptised 27 May 1798 in Hunsdon, Hertfordshire.  Her baptism shows her father as being Seamer Redenton and Sarah her mother.

I've found a marriage of Seymor Ridenton to Sarah Graves on 14 January 1793 in Widford, Hertfordshire.

I can't find anything more about Seamer/Seymor, his birth, for example. 

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Seamer and Sarah had four children in total, one, a son baptised 1800 Hertfordshire and baptised in Hunsford, who was called John Seamer Ridenton so the name is used through the family.

I've just found Seymour Reddington's death in Ware, 1839 Q4 so he existed ...

Also, another son, James baptised 1803, Hunsden, who died 25 March 1804 also in Hunsden

Hi
A couple of mentions in Essex probate
Seamer Ridenton death duty index 1840 from Hunsdon
 Essex wills beneficiary Index mentioned as brother of S  Spenser at  Hadstock Will 1834
Might be a clue there.
Sarah Ridenton married 1780 Charles Spencer of Farnham so perhaps a brother in law.

Hi
I spotted the details on Find My Past but the place to go would be Essex's Archives own website.It is pay to view but they will have all the parish records etc on there.
