Hi, Here are the names that I am researching in Preston: John FREEMAN (widower) married Ann ROTHWELL (formerly GASS) on 15 Feb 1825 at St John's, Preston. Their children were: James FREEMAN c.1826 Maria 1828 (my line. She married George TERRY in Liverpool in 1849) Elizabeth 1832 Eliza 1834 Henry 1836 Mary Ann 1838 ~all christened at St. John's Church in Preston John FREEMAN was a Coal Dealer in Preston in 1838 as recorded on Mary Ann's birth certificate. That's about all I know. Does anything look familiar to anybody? ~ Margaret in USA
