Ada Gertrude Free

GEDCOM Note

Name Ada Gertrude Free was identified though the birth register entry for John Norman Bryan, as the mother, and wife to James Ezekiel Bryan.

Identity as Daughter of Thomas Free and DOB Identifying Ada Gertrude Free as the daughter of Thomas Free was possible through the marriage register entry. There is no doubt that this is the correct entry, and lists Thomas as father. A search of the birth index for 'Ada Gertrude Free' born between 1878-1880 to match the marriage entry also lists only one record, which lists place of birth as Bottisham. The corresponding entry of birth reaffirms the link to Thomas and Emma Free (nee Green), date and place of birth.

Census records for the Free family, headed by Thomas and Emma, and with an Ada, or Gertie listed as daughter can then be found back to 1881, and are very strong matches.

Date of Death Date of death is not clear, but it is certain she died before Norman Bryan (grandson) knew her, so one assumes before 1953-1954. An entry for an Ada G Bryan, in Birmingham, in Jul-Sep 1950 is present in the index.
