Looking for more info and possible family contact on

Harry C REDMAN, from Dinwiddie, VA

Family that adopted his grave at HC ABMC would like to have a family contact!

Thx!

His middle name was Curtice, and he was born 28 July 1921 in Dimwiddie. I saw his Jewish Serviceman's Welfare Board card, but it didn't have any info.

 

Father was Benjamin Franklin Redman.

 

Here are Harry's parents' Find A Grave memorials:

As of 1920, Benjamin and Nora had two daughters - Ruth and Helen. Benjamin was an electrician on the elctric railway in Namozine (in Dimwiddie County).

 

In 1930, Helen is still at home and Harry is there. Benjamin is a motorman on the electric railway in Petersburg, VA.

 

Working on the daughters . . . .

Ruth Redman - Born 1912

 

Widowed, married a second time on 4 June 1962 in Lunenburg, VA to Lester B. Jones (widower). 

 

Here is his Find A Grave:

She isn't listed there, so she could be there, or could have remarried.

Helen Adelia Redman

Born: 18 Aug 1913 - Dinwiddie

 

Married 27 Aug 1942 to Wesley William Harris in Petersburg, VA. He was a Sailor in the USN.

 

She died 20 June 1985 in Hopewell, VA. Her husband was already gone. The informant on her death certificate is listed as daughter Rosemary Harris.

I'd say the best bet would be to try and contact a PEtersburg library and see if you can get an obit for Helen Harris to see the relatives names and try from there. Most likely it would say if her sister was alive or deceased at the time and her kid's names and where they live.

Or contact the local post office.

Rose Mary Harris was still alive as of 9 Mar 2018 when this findagrave memorial was created for her and her husband Robert Harris. Her date of death is blank on the stone.

Don't think that will be her. Her maiden name was Harris, so that would mean her husband would have a different name.
