I have found on ancestry 3 marriage banns 31 Oct 1841, 7 Nov 1841 and 14 Nov 1841 for Mary Ann Freeman and Nathaniel Weaver at Gloucester St John the Baptist.
However there was never a marriage. On 16 April 1842 Mary Ann Freeman gave birth to a son Nathaniel Weaver Freeman. But his birth and baptism records state Mary was a single mother. What happened to Nathaniel Weaver the father - I cannot find a death for him around 1841/1842
