i recognise the word Mariner from my great grandfather. what is this occupation? |

A mariner is someone who went to sea - a sailor. |

thank you. I thought it would have been something like this. This seems to be very common for young men to do, especially when wanting to leav home ect. I just dont understand why my grand father started in New York. Could he have stowed away? Would there be anyway of finding this out?? x |

On the image for the 1891 census that RamblingRose has given, Laura's surname is actually Freeman and not Waddington. |

thank you, ill take a look at them. (Rambaling Rose, i heared a ghost story about a Ramabling Rose in haunted Liverpool. :) lol. No offence intended. It just reminded me as i only heard it yesterday.) Thanks for the help. |

why would they be living with people with differant names?? family?? and the father is missing too??? hmmmm....... |

KathleenBell | Report | 29 Aug 2009 23:57 |
Laura is described as daughter on this census. Perhaps her mother was called Freeman and then married again to Mr. Waddington. |

ah, i think i have looked at these before, and i think Laura changes her name too, at a later date. Is there anyway of finding out what happened to Laura, if she left home with her child ect, or married?? |

Here's the marriage:- |

ah, thanks, so the mother does marry. Arthur is the only one to keep freeman?? |

KathleenBell | Report | 30 Aug 2009 00:04 |
There are quite a few marriages for the name Laura Freeman - too many to be certain if one of them was this one. |
