Hello, I am trying to find the following family. Ann Sedgwick was born 1835 Houghton le Spring, Co Durham, had a brother Joseph born 1839 same place. Parents are Ro(w)land and Mary Sedgwick. On the 1841 index on Ancestry there is a Rowland Ledger and underneath in brackets it says Rowland Sedgwick along with a lot of others, and although the birth date for Rowland is slightly out, I would appreciate it if someone would take a look. Thank you.

This one, it can be sedgwick on the original, but then again?
Although the member who submitted the correction made this note

Looks like Sedgewick to me - the 's' matches that in 'Sarah' for another entry above.

Hello George, thank you, on family search it says Anns parents were Rowland and Mary. This Rowland must be a brother. The spellings are awful. I can't find any of them on the 1851 census either. Thanks for looking.

Thanks George. Ann marries in Bishop Auckland in 1855 which is "just up the road" from Woodham. :-)
