Hello Everyone,
I have been trying, for quite a long time now. To find information as to what became of my ancestor above.I know that she was born in Leek Wooten in Warwickshire 1871.Her mother was Elizabeth Freeman who later married Arthur Willis.The family then moved to Worksop Notts.In the 1881 census Mary Ann was listed as Mary Ann Willis.I cannot trace her anywhere after this.I do know from an aged Aunt That Mary married and settled in Banbury Oxford.I dont know her married name,aunty gave me a name, but cannot find any information on her I have a family photo.Would love to know from anyone who has any imformation.Thankyou.
