Bartholomew Wedge
Could anyone help me please? I can trace my ancestry back to Francis Wedge (b. 2 March, 1724 Wellington Shropshire - d.10 November 1784 at Fernhill House Staffordshire). I believe that his father could have been Bartholomew Wedge of the Wellington Shropshire area, but trying to find iinformation from New Zealand is not easy. Also Francis Wedge was knighted - could anyone tell me why?
