The Mary Ann who died in 1903 was 86 and we have conflicting info re her parents. Died 23 and buried 26 March.

Father = James (Morris) - is Morris a middle name? and family name BIRCHAM or was Mary born before her parents married and mother was also named Mary Ann BIRCHAM?

When you eliminate the impossible, you are left with the truth...

You have two deaths with conflicting info, so it is one of those...

So, who's telling the truth?

:2fun:

 

[DaveHam9]

When you eliminate the impossible, you are left with the truth...

You got that the right way round? :biggrin:

So a birth about 1817.

Do we know where REH was born abt 1809?

 

[horse]

So, we start the process again, what is impossible?

 

[horse]

Do we know where REH was born abt 1809?

No, the one tree I found that may help is PRIVATE

 

[DaveHam9]

I've tried FS and no luck with REH or the marriage.

Could be Ireland.

Any luck with master mariner search?

Can't see any Bircham arriving in NSW as assisted.

Nope.. a bit of an impasse..

Not sure if Morris is a middle name or not...
