Our Notes on Edward Frodsham & Maggie Barnard

	If all else fails, change your name!   Charley Frodsham   Surname:  Charley Frodsham Year: 1880 County: Lake State: CO Age: 40 Gender: M (male) Month of Death: NOV State of Birth: OH ID#: MRT107_111945 Occupation: Miner Cause of Dearh: Lynched   Source: U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedules Index

	FOR AGAINST See convict records - Edward's father named James from Utah and a jeweler.  How many James Frodsham's were jewelers with sons named Edward were in Utah at the time? Some ages and dates do not match, but most do not match anywhere, as people in a hurry to genealogy seem to match any name with any date. There was another Edward Frodsham born 1837 in England.  His father was not James.   Edward Frodsham and Julie Ann Zabriskie divorced Weber County, UT 7 JUL 1874   In prison records Edward had 3 children.  Edward m. Julie had 2; Frank Claudius and Clara.  Edward and "Maggie" had one - Margaret Ann born ca 1876 in Evanston, WY. This adds up to 3   Edward Frodsham n. Margaret Ann(a) Barnard  2 MAR 1875 in Weber, Utah   What happened to OUR Edward Frodsham, the father of Frank and Clara?  I can't find when or where another one died or was buried.
