Shared note

Illegitimate son of Georgehannah Summers, born 23 July 1859 (birth date on death certificate is 1 year wrong (1858)). Mother was unmarried, but later married William Freestone in 1866. According to the Emmer Tree 69325918, the father was Thomas Ball.

Daniel Sommers married Mary Smith Johnson on 27 Dec 1880 at Ashby Register Office.
The family emigrated to Utah, USA in 1883. Not clear if they all went together, the 1900 USA census is a bit doubtful, and seems to indicate that his wife Mary and son Joseph (b1882) emigrated in 1884, while Daniel left in 1883 with son William (b1881).
The Kygar Tree 36706032 gives a repeated marriage in Coalville, Utah 27 Dec 1885. It is a bit suspicious that exactly the same month and day are specified. There doesn't seem to be any proof of this marriage in the available American certificates. The second marriage is also mentioned in her obituary notice on the same tree, but no links to any documentation seem to exist.

They had 12 children of which 10 still living in 1910.
