RESOLVED

My grandfather ernest william freeman who married caroline freeman nee boyton had 2 children only my father ernest peter freeman and mary grace mcentyre nee freeman, so there fore the other 3 children are not his a different ernest william freeman, I knew this information was wrong from day one as no one in the family were aware of it

ERNEST WILLIAM FREEMAN AND CAROLINE GRACE FREEMAN NEE BOYTON, ERNEST PETER FREEMAN, MARY GRACE MCENTYRE NEE FREEMAN, PROFILES NEED TO BE UPDATED WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION, PROVES HOW SOME OF THESE PROFILES ARE SO INCORRECT

Hi Private User
Which of the children do you think are incorrect?

As my family were all estranged from each other and did not speak, so we did not know too much about them

Thanks

I found another Ernest who also married a Caroline

Ernest Freeman 1873-1907

Thank you Leanne can become confusing at times

I have curated all the profiles that have been confused and added curator notes - hopefully that will stop it occuring again.

THANK YOU
