Additional Information
(1) The baptism entry for Boxall records him as being the child of Ann Gracemark, pauper, with no father recorded. This was in 1788, four years before Ann and Henry Redman were married. The main reason for concluding that Boxall was the son of both Henry and Ann is that his name at christening was Boxall Redman. He also subsequently used the surname Redman, but that might have happened even if Henry was just his stepfather. Ann also had another son, Whitington, in August 1785, again with no father recorded. Whitington, however, retained the surname Gracemark, and there is no evidence to suppose that he was blood-related to Henry Redman. Between 1783 and 1794, under the 1783 Stamp Duty Act, stamp duty of 3d had to be paid for each parish register entry. Those designated as paupers, i.e. destitute of means except those derived from charity, were exempt. In such a case the word “pauper” was entered in the parish register. In Ann Gracemark’s case it is possible that she was abandoned by her family when she became an unmarried mother. (2) The parish baptism register records Henry’s surname as “Rudman.” Variation in the spelling of a surname was quite usual at the time, given that many parishioners could neither read nor write, and thus the choice of spelling fell to the presiding cleric. (3) Henry had a twin brother William.
