Mary Ann Freeman: Morgan connection or not? (General)
Hi All,
I just wanted to say thanks again to all of you that help make this site possible by gathering, transcribing, helping, etc. I have had this brick wall for a bit now, but now it is finally starting to come together!
I have found my Mary Ann. I need to verify her mother, which may prove difficult, but I have finally tracked her down, thanks to the help of this site.
If any one has found that our families match, please let me know and I'll send more information. I don't want to put anyone to sleep!
To briefly summarize:
I received a death certificate for Elizabeth (Waite) Morgan d. 22 June 1887. On it, it states there was an inquest on 24 June 1887. I found the inquest on this site. Mary Ann Freeman is again mentioned in the inquest, as wife of Benjamin Freeman, which I had suspected (previous threads).
I searched the BMD and FOD. I found only a marriage in the BMD for a Benjamin Freeman and Mary Ann Harris that seemed to fit. I then started to look for Mary Ann Morgan and Mr. Harris. Yep, found the marriage on this site! It was in 1882. Then I found that poor John dies in 1883, as I found the Freemans keeping house in 1891. (The marriage for Freeman-Harris was in 1886).
Anyway, it's been a very productive night and I must say that sleep is so overrated. ;)
I may be up all night as I am now adding Freeman, Harris, and Morgan ancestors all over the place.
Thanks again FODFH!
P.S. I have found the census records for the Harris-Morgan and Freeman-Harris/Morgan families, if anyone is in need of them. I can post here or send via e-mail.
