Dearly beloved father of Mrs McCann Haitaitai

So, that’s a bit of a mystery.
Unless there is another Baughan at Sawyers Bay, but I don’t see one.


Added just to tidy this bit up - she was Eliza one of the daughters who emigrated with them. She had been previously married to Lawrence Shakesby.  I wonder why she was left out of the will. She did die only the following year. Maybe that was expected?? or perhaps she was much better off than the others??

I suspect Albert BOOK is Albert Edward BUHCK, marriage of Ellen BAUGHAN to Albert in 1902 (1902/1005)

You can find John BAUGHAN and Emma PALMER quite easily around Lower Heyford/ Ardley, Oxfordshire on FreeBMD and familysearch if you want to search yourself.

Thank you all for the help and showing me how to search.
