Maria FREEMAN

[andrea_mc]

hi
my brother copied the details ( about 15 or so  years ago)

from parish records in watford i think

but he did not write them down the witnesses
as we did think it necessary .we just wanted a date and parents .

we now have access to census, bmd entries  etc on line

i did not think to re check my early research  and buy certificate .
i will probably buy both the birth you have found,  dorcas marriage  and maria marriage this week

thank you again for your help in tracing maria

i had forgotten my own advise double check my reasearch .

Forgive my ignorance because I'm still quite new here and still trying to navigate my way around.

How do I find my way to the board with the on-going discussions about the Freeman's?   I'm having trouble with my Freeman ancestors from Hertfordshire.

Thanks

Hi Andrea

Yes, I'm a member of the Genes Reunited site and it was probably me talking about the Freeman's. I've posted several messages on their tips board.

Your suggestion to start a chat on Rootschat is a good one, which I will do. It's one of the few things left that I haven't yet tried.

Thanks again

Lyndsey

Hi Andrea

Thanks for the message. Yes, I know Susan, we are related. We met through the GR site and do our research together.
 Well spotted though!

Many thanks again

Hi Andrea,

I found the 1861 marriage entry on the Bovingdon PRs  -

Henry Taylor 22 Bach Labourer of Bovingdon  F. Matthew Taylor Labourer
Maria Freeman  18 Spinster of Bovingdon  F. John Freeman Labourer
were married by banns on 12th October 1861.
Witnesses William Fountain and Susan Taylor. 
All four made their marks.

There was no trace of an 1856 Freeman/Kemp marriage or 1844 baptism for Maria Kemp in the Bovingdon PRs.

Regards   ...   Peter
