Hemsted family from Newbury, Berkshire, UK
Looking for connections to this family. I have Stephen Hemsted born c 1752, died 16 Jan 1810 and married to Mary Sellwood. Their daughter Mary Sellwood Hemsted born 1778 in the village of Chieveley (just north of Newbury), died 1855 London and was married to Richard Hilhouse, grocer and tea dealer in London. There is an interesting name "Rustat" which appears as a first name. Searching Google, I noticed a Stephen Rustat Hemsted disputing a patent in 1995 in Manchester which sounds as though the family is still going strong somewhere. Can anyone add to this?
