hi many thanks but i was told the name was definately spelt Ewin as it had been seen on a marriage certificate.

brummiejan Report 2 Mar 2011 19:22

Lynda, even if spelt Ewin on cert it could vary - Ewen, Ewing, and probably many more! Spelling was a lot more casual back then.
Maybe if we can locate your great-grandparents we can see if a Mary Ann is with them.

A strange thing ive been told by my sister is that she believes the daughters name was Mary ann harris but on her marriage certificate it states William Ewin (deceased) as her father.

When did she marry Lynda? Have you got the cert? You really need to have a look at it.

Maybe William was her stepfather.

Lynda

Lynda Report 2 Mar 2011 19:55

thats amazing Mike so she was married to Thomas harris in 1880 hence the name harris on her marriage certificate had no idea

Lynda

Lynda Report 2 Mar 2011 19:57

on the marriage certificate it does state father William Ewin deceased but as you say he could have been her step father. now i will have to find if theres a birth certificate for Mary ann short in 1885.thanks so much for your help

just noticed that she was born in 1885 so maybe the marriage is her mothers

Hang on a minute.

If she was married 1880, she can't be the one born 1885.
