Edward Redmore married Margaret Markby at St Botolph's ChurchBoston, Lincolnshire on 13 Jan 1708. Edward Redmore, I believe, was baptised in Sibsey, Lincolnshire on 6 Dec 1679, the son of George and Alice Redmore.

Edward and Margaret had at least four children:
  1. William Redmore bap. 1 Oct 1710 at St Botolph's Church, Boston
  2. George Redmore bap. 31 Mar 1712 in Boston, Lincolnshire
  3. Mary Redmore bap. 16 Oct 1713 at St Botolph's Church, Boston
  4. Edward Redmore bap. 16 Oct 1715 in Freiston, Lincolnshire
On 27 Mar 1717 there is a burial of an Edward Redmore of Freiston, in Sibsey, Lincolnshire. There is nothing in the record to specify whether it was father or son, however, two things lead me to believe it was the father: a) infant burials on the same page of the original parish record have generally been listed as son or d (for daughter) of ... and this wasn't and b) it's possible that he was buried back at his parish of birth, either at the behest of authorities or family request.

As is often the case with women, I can find no further records for Margaret.
