Hi Lola, your Thomas Richard COELMAN doesn't ring any bells, although we know very little of MAry Ann other than her marriage to my William SMITH around the time of the birth of her/their daughter about 1872, which would have made Mary Ann about 15! We feel that she may have been called Ellen originally but took her mothers name because of a young birth/marriage. She was suposed to ahve been born Blaina/Brynmawr area! We have some census records that relate to Ellen being born! But we are very unsure, any ideas would be appreciated. It certainly is ther right era.
