This is the 2nd marriage of Mary Ann Bates who was married to Henry Freed before registration started. She is one of my brick walls. So far I believe the name to be John Valentine as thats what was being used on another tree but now I am uncertain. Her place of birth and age changes, surprise surprise, but roughly 1802 Greenwich. I find it strange that she didnt just put John Bates so its as if she did know who her father was.

Thank you. I did wonder if this would be the link to my group of unexplained dna matches but am at a loss who John Valentine is. It seems there is a baptism for a Mary Bates to an unmarried Mary Bates but again that's difficult to read or to actually associate it to mineComment

As you may know, he could be a step father?Comment

I found the thread that you posted before
I assume you have a DNA connection to her family, but can't see how you are connected, and are trying to trace her further back?Carolyn

Other way round. lol I am connected. My 3rd great grandmother but have never been able to establish any connections to her. I have a group of matches that all match each other but none seem to have a tree or respond so I was wondering if thats where these fit in. I have been quite successful with my dna matches and working out their connections with quick and dirty trees but it difficult when they dont answer and you dont know if thats their married or maiden name.Comment

thank you for finding that thread. I did try to find it myself but was unable to. I have lost a lot of info stored on my computer as I have just upgraded to a new one.Originally posted by cbcarolyn View PostI found the thread that you posted before
