replied on: 11/29/2007 11:26:40 AM Sorry this is the first time I have heard this information with reference to Edmund Cartwright. I do not know where William Cartwright was born or even the year, I do know that his wife Jane was born about 1774 but not where, nor do I know her maiden name. All I do know is that all the children were baptised at All Saints, Loughborough. They were John, James, William, Katherine, Joseph, Jane, William, Hannah and Walter. |
