Edmund Sedgwick (b. 1744?)

Edmund Sedgwick [John Sedgwick of Dent?]
b. 1744?
m. Alice Sedgwick, 31 May 1768, Sedbergh, Yrks
d after 1800?

Alice Sedgwick [Abraham Sedgwick / Anne Mason]
b. 1745?
m. Edmund Sedgwick
d after 1800?

There is mention of a possible sister to Edmund. The baptism of an Isabella daughter of John took place on 8 October 1738. Isabella Sedgwick was married to Samuel Cowper on 25 May 1768 and one of the witnesses was Edmund Sedgwick. It is an oral family legend that this Samuel Cowper is related to the famous poet William Cowper.

The only likely baptism found for Edmund is in Dent whilst there are several for Alice. One entry, submitted by a member of LDS and thus unconfirmed, records the baptism of an Alice to Abraham Sedgwick and Anne Mason in 1745 at Garsdale.

It has recently been established that Edmund is the ancestor of William Walmsley Sedgwick.
