The Merryweather Family come from
Sedgehill in the South of the County of Wiltshire.
At the moment we do not know if Edward, John and Joshua
(below as sons of ? Merryweather) are in fact brothers.
They are all in the village of Sedgehill and all of similar
age so it is likely they are closely related.
If anyone has already researched this family and can shed
some light would you please email
me.
