BEDDER

My BEDDERs are from Bedworth, in Warwickshire, and were Weavers. It is believed that Frances BEDDER, my earliest traced Bedder ancestor, was born in Broseley, Shropshire in about 1684 and came to Bedworth before 1705 along with his brother Joseph. I have traced 5 sons and one daughter. The only known details of the BEDDER generations are the registration details of the family members, see the Descendant Chart for Frances Bedder. My BEDDER records end in 1831 with the marriage of Hannah to William ISON at Bedworth.	Back to Surnames
