    3. Hi Ruth, I have an interest in the Redman / Redeman / Redmayne / Redmond family, as originally mentioned in the person of Matthew de Redeman, Seneschal of Kendal, co. Westmorland, circa 1260 (seneschal was a steward and recorder) [Ref.: "The History of Westmorland & Cumberland", by Nicholson & Burns (1777), page 130, which describes how two men in particular were the leading witnesses to a grant made by William de Lancastre:- Gilbert(2) de Kirketon, Under-sheriff of Westmorland to the hereditary High Sheriff, Robert de Veteri Ponte (Vipont), and the said Matthew de Redeman, Seneschal. Matthew likely at that time bore a blazon bearing three cushions as charges, probably in various combinations of tinctures and metals. I have a certain amount of data about particularly the Redmaynes of Brathay Hall, Ambleside, if they are connected and are of interest, and would be very willing to compare notes.
