If all this looks confusing to you, it was confusing to me also. I have done the best I can do to try and make some sense of this life of Maria Whyman. There are too many unregistered births and marriages to positively create the absolutely correct scenario of these lives. If you the reader of this page can shed additional light on these families, please share it with me.                                     George
