mary ann farley

Following on from previous message, I don't think they are the same person.

Could it have been assumed in the family that Mary ... Christiansen was Mary Ann when in fact she wasn't?

It would be helpful to know where the line starts to ensure we are following the correct person.

Annie Webster - if you would like to post those details but do not include living persons then perhaps we can help you further.

Just to point out, Julia Farley marries a Samuel Burgess - take a look at 1911!

[Mabel Bagshawe]

However am also coming to the conclusion Mary Francis/Jane is a different person - but related. The mother's maiden name of the Christiansen children is Thompson

[heywood]

I think that is what we are working on Mabel.

The witnesses at Bridget's marriage were Samuel Burgess and Mary Jane Christiansen.

That is why I wonder if somehow the two ladies have been mixed up in the family.
We called neighbours and distant relatives 'Aunty' when I was a child and am wondering if this is similar.
As JJ points out where does the information come from.

I'm not the only one confused then
mary ann,  bridget and Julia are sisters there parents has I have them are mathias Farley and mary ann mcgauley both born Ireland I know not were bridget married Edward lightfoot  Julia married samuel  burgess the confusing bit for me is mary ann /jane and her parents the records for the years 81 91 I found them no 1901 nor deaths for parents nomarrigae for mary jane exceptthat Thompson one

[annie webster]

mary ann/jane is my great grandmothers Julias  elder sister

[heywood]

You have Mary Ann,  Bridget and Julia Farley.

You have Bridget and Julia both connected to Mary Jane Christiansen (Thompson).

Mary Frances Thompson married Christian Christiansen. Her father is given as William James Thompson.

Why do you think Mary Christiansen is Mary Ann Farley?
