WEDDERBURN

[euroleader]

Am interested in contacting any Wedderburns wishing to research their roots
around the world.... a new site with info on Wedderburns in JAMAICA, UK,
SOUTH AFRICA, AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND can be found at:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/euroleader/wedderburn

My roots go back to a Robert Wedderburn born ca. 1752 in Kingston Jamaica, a
tailor. Not yet been able to establish a link with the Wedderburns, mainly
of the "Wedderburns of Blackness", a number of whom were in Jamaica at the
time....

Have tried the URL both on the Caribbean List and the UK group and can't
connect. I do have some Weddeburns that I found (I believe) in
Westmoreland, Jamaica. I will have to check my notes as I took a sabbatical
for a couple of months. There was no "R" in Weddeburn. Any of these yours?

Hi: There was a Teacher named Mrs. Wedderburn in Kingston she taught me at
convent located on Church Street and I believe her Husband was also a
teacher. I belive they lived on Waltham Park Road this was in 1943-44-45.

I remember being told by my father, Wilfred Wedderburn Wilson, b. Aug 29,
1896, Black Heath Estate, Westmoreland, Jamaica, that we are related to the
Wedderburns, but I don't know how. His father was William Wedderburn Wilson.

[C.M.Codrington]

By any chance was WW Wilson's mother a Wederburn?

Matrilineals were often used to differentiate collateral lines or like
named individuals from coexistant lines of the same surname(ie cousins) In
my own family this naming pattern was used quite abit up until the 1870's
after which it was no longer necessary since only one line survived. It was
also used by most of the related families under similar circumstances. For
example in 1799 my direct line produced a son name William Codrington born
while a related Cod line still had a young William running around, so they
added the matrilineal of the grandmother and thus William Collins
Codrington.
Generally speaking when this line encountered such a situation they would
use the same root matrilineal, but in two examples, they chose to use the
"Deans" surname in honor of a later matrilineal relation rather than the
surname of the Matriarch (so to speak)

I know it was not done by all families, but was common and may serve as a
clue. The major contradiction to this pattern I've seen is strictly
honorific middle names which often derived in the early years from important
social or economic sponsors, mentors,etc.

All naming "patterns" should be approached with caution, but in planter
families it appears there was some consistency to them. One problem is we do
not always find the middle names on documents or records or they are
inconsistently given (or not) and can really wreak havoc with determining
whether Joe Joe is Joe Joe Joe or simply Joe Joe.(or even Joe joe jr!!!!!
and I think in Jamaican society of the time, the lower the person's "estate"
the more likely indifferent recording of names may occur. I think naming
patterns are best used as clues and little more, but they can indeed be very
helpful in that regard.

Is it possible that he may have been related to the Wedderburns by his
mother? Do you have any of your grandmother's surnames? Also, my father's
family were from Westmoreland as well. Do you happen to have any of the
following names in your line: Holland, Marshall, Curling? If so , I would
like to know. Thanks so much.

God bless you,

Quite a few Wedderburns were descended from the Wedderburns of Blackness -
there is a lot of info on them on my site. There were pretty easy to trace,
being well-off, from a pretty rich line of Wedderburns descended from a Sir
Alexander Wedderburn born ca. 1650, 4th Baronet.

Times were hard (not so much financially) - after defeat by the English at
the Battle of Culloden, they had to leave rather hastily, a number acquiring
plantations in the early 18th century, some settling in Westmoreland - a
number had estates there, Glenisla, Blue Castle, etc.

At some time I shall be adding a family tree for the Wedderburns of
Blackness to the site - I shall keep your address and let you know when.
There's every chance that your father was linked to this branch of the
family, and therefore descended from Sir Alexander himself. Take a look at
the site - much of the current Jamaica info is in sections Wedderburn family
history 3 and 4.

Research in Jamaica is very difficult indeed - but if your are able to trace
back from your grandfather to the previous generation or so, it may well be
possible to tie this up with my research which is on the earlier
Wedderburns - this could well give you several generations at one fell
swoop! Do you actually live in Jamaica?

I do already have a paper version of the family tree of the Blackness
Wedderburns - try and trace back a generation or two beyond your
grandfather, which may not prove too difficult being based in Westmoreland,
provide me with any names you come across, and I'll send you a copy by post
if it links up with names on my list (give me a snail mail address)

Are you a Wedderburn too? I have quite a lot of information on the

Wilfred Wedderburn Wilson's (my father) mother was Edith Marion Reddie, b.
Feb 28, 1865 in Jamaica. His father, William Wedderburn Wilson'was the
bookkeeper at Black Heath Estate in Westmoreland, Jamaica. I don't know who
his parents were.

[GWils...@aol.com]

My paternal grandmother was Edith Marion Reddie, b. Feb 28, 1865 in Jamaica.
None of the names you cited have been identified in my tree, but my search is
just beginning. I will contact you again if I make a connection. Best regards.

Hello,

I'm new to the list. I'm also interested in Westmoreland Parish around the
same dates. Do you have any access parish records that I might be able to
peruse. Thank you.

Greetings,
Can you tell me who owned Black Heath Plantation in Westmoreland, Jamaica?
Curious as Black Heath is the golf course outside London where many of the late
1700 merchants were members.
thanks,

Hi,
Would you know if you had any Hollands on either side? My father was Levi
Bartholomew Holland from Westmoreland.

[Nevilla E. Ottley & Edgar E. Adjahoe]

JoAnn,

I know some Hollands here in Maryland. Don't know their pedigree. Should I
contact them for you?

Nevilla

[GWils...@aol.com]

I have not found the name Holland in my tree, but my search is just beginning.
Best regards.

I lokk forward to hearing from you.

Hi Peter I am a direct decendent of Robert Wedderburn, from his son Jabez. My branch of the family live in New Zealand. Our family have only just started to look into our family links. I did come across a very comprehensive Wedderburn family tree a couple of months ago,on the internet, which finished at my mothers generation. Unfortunately I did not save it, so am trying to find it again. I am hoping to visit Jamaica later this year in the hope of tracing some of Roberts Brothers lineage, and find out more about Rosanne and her family roots. Will be happy to share what ever I find going forward. Regards Libby

Do you mean that particular page or the whole site? Individual pages on
the site each have a date at the foot.

Well, some pages hasn't been updated since 2007 or 2008 also 1998. Kindly,
I suggest a revision of the whole site.

Another thing: when I go to Caribbean GenWeb Project and pinch spanish
version, the information is in english.

I have special interest in this site, my ancestors came from Antigua.

Thanks for your help,

Hi
Im trying to understand what this conversation is referring to re "I
suggest a revision of the whole site" and references to Carib Gen Web' (and
which site on Carib Gen Web)

If you are referring to the Antigua and Barbuda web-site it is my job but
have not been much into updating it as frankly the traffic on these subjects
has altered to Blogs and new data available online really hasn't changed
much.
My interests cease after 1800. I spent years knocking on various doors to
try and shake loose more local info but resources locally are very tight.
The Historic A +B site was always an English language site. If anyone has a
deep seated urge to revise the site I could probably arrange a transfer
