Dedman, family. The Dedmans are mentioned in both Inglis (August 20th) and Case (pp.164). According to Inglis, the father had  been killed and a boy died of cholera. There would appear to have been more children as Case describes the death as "another child of the poor Dedmans was siezed with cholera this morning and not expected to live…" However as both Inglis and Case mention them, it is only fair that they appear here.
