SUTTEN/SUTTON Katie Lucy Lloyd Barnes

Dear readers, I have been researching the Sutton family for quite some time. The above lady died when her daughter Katie Jean was only 4 days old, old. Katie L. L. B. Married James Thomson Gray 16th March 1903. Katie Jean was born 1912. I have found out Katie Jean was adopted out to Crosby Hunter and his wife Mary Ann (nee Weber). If there are any family member out there I would love to make a connection. Also can anyone tell me can put the adoption into Family Tree Maker apart from making notes in the notes section. Katie Jean Gray was born at Portland. Katie Lucy Lloyd Barnes Sutton died Portland and is buried at Wallerawang. Many thanks in advance Elaine alelaine@tpg.com.au
