Any information about the following familes would be greatly appreciated.

On marriage cet. No281 16 Mar 1843 states John Redfern farmer of Braddan IoM father George Redfern. Spouse Sarah Bridson spinster of Parish of Walton Liverpool father Robert Bridson Sea Captain.I think this couple could be my g. grandparents. From LDS they had 4 children in Braddan IoM:
Sarah 23 Feb 1844
Margaret 21 Jul 1845
Robert Bridson 8 Jul 1845
Charles 27 May 1848
My Grandfather William Coates Redfern born 10 Sep 1855 Green Street Sandbach Cheshire, father John famer, mother Sarah nee Bridson. But when William married Eliza Collister of Kennaa farm St John IoM on the16 Apr 1880 his father is listed as gentleman.

From LDS George Redfern Married Margt Kelly 24 Jan 1819 Braddan Iom, they had 7 children:
John 26 dec 1819 ST Mathews Douglas (Pos. my g grandfather
Thos 26 Dec 1821 Saint Mathews
Robt 27 Jun 1824 Saint Mathews (did he marry Ann Senior 17 sep 1845 Braddan)
Mary Ann 22 Jul 1827 Braddan (did she marry Barnabas Campbell 2 Feb 1863)
Jane Margt 04 Nov 1829 Bradden Died 01 Apr 1830
Catharine Hannah 28 Aug 1831 Braddan
Margt Isabel 26 Apr 1835 Braddan

In "Douglas - Pigots Directory, 1837" under Farmers, Redfern George, Springhill, Braddan.
But I can not find any reference ether to John or George in the 1841 and the 1851 censuses.

P.S. To Brian Lawson Sorry I gave you the wrong dates in my E-mail to you and hope there is none in this lot.

Regards Richard Redfern
