Miriam WATTSⁱ, eldest child of Frederick FREER and Eliza WATTS [Family], was born between 7 Jun 1826 and 30 Mar 1827^{i, ii} in Castle Donington, Leicestershire. Miriam died on 8 Aug 1863^{iii, 1} at Destitute Asylum, Adelaide, in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia aged about 37.

She was christened on 14 Feb 1836^{iv, v, 2} in Quorndon, Leicestershire. She immigrated in 1852 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

(Research):Miriam was christened (daughter of Frederick & Eliza Freer) the same day as her cousin Pharoah Watts in Quorndon. Miriam was listed as Miriam Watts (not Freer) when staying with her grandfather John Watts in 1841. The 1841 census shows she was born 1826 (so baptised aged 10), two years before her parents marriage in 1828. Miriam's marriage certificate to WIlliam Cramp in 1846 shows her father's name as Frederick Freer. Miriam's maiden name in Charles Cramp's birth certificate is Watts not Freer. Conclusion is that Miriam was Miriam Watts (illegitimate daughter of Frederick Freer, her father, and Eliza Watts, her mother).

4 sons and one daughter listed.
