Dear Lynne,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was on leave from the office for the half term when I received an e-mail regarding your message. I am indeed related to your husband. My mother Joan was a Hedefine. My great-grandfather, Robert was Jemima's brother. I too have lots of information and details of the Hedefines' still living today from my particular branch of the Hedefine clan. I'm not certain whether you can see my e-mail address posted along with this message. For information it's barbara@abaca.co.uk and I'd be delighted to hear from you or your husband, as would some of the other Hedefines who've done most of the research to date. I know that the descendents of Jemima have not been entered on the current tree. There is quite a lot of background information about James Hedefin which has been obtained from his British Army Records.

If you contact me by e-mail I'll give you the names and addresses of the two gentleman who would be very pleased to share their findings with you.

Best Regards

Barbara Cartwright
