Wadeson Family
This isn't a memory (before my time!) but a plea for family history help as I have several ancestors who were born or lived in this area.
My 5th great grandfather Robert Wadeson married Eva Weyman in Whaplode Drove in 1750. They then lived in Barbados, Carribean for several years where my 4th great grandfather Samuel Weyman Wadeson was born in 1754. By 1760 the family had returned to live in Spalding where other children (John and Robert) were born.
I am looking for any information about Robert's birth (about 1725) and his parents or anything else about the family (such as why they went to Barbados ??).
I believe that Eva Weyman was born in Spalding in 1726 to parents John Weyman and Mary and would like to know more about them also.
I would be grateful for any help.

It might be worth contacting the Spalding Gentleman's Society, which was founded in 1710. They have a private museum in Spalding which houses many local treasures and a huge amount of local information, eMail: info@spalding-gentlemens-society.org
Do you know if your ancestor was in the military? That could explain his time in Barbados.

RE: RE: Wadeson Family
Thank you, I will try the Spalding Gentleman's Society. I don't know whether they were in the military but I will try to find out (as that is a much nicer possibility than what I was imagining).
