Edward Freeman
James Freeman
John Freeman
Nellie Freeman
William Freeman
Mary Elizabeth Freeman

My ancester is Mary Elizabeth Freeman who came to Australia sometime in the early 20th Century.
I've been unable to find any details of her parents.
Any assistance would be great!

EDIT: I've been able to find some further information. I believe James FREEMAN's parents were Cornelius FREEMAN and Mary UNKNOWN, both born in Ireland (Londonderry for Cornelius and Cork for Mary).
It also appears that his wife, Alice, like James, while born in Wales had Irish parents, her mother was Ellen BROWN from Cork.
