George Freeston
« on: Sunday 28 February 16 11:46 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for any information on George Freeston. Probably born in Barrowby between 1808 and 1814 or after 1815!  Father was John and mother Catherine. The only thing I know is that his father died in 1842 and the will states that George was presumed to be in the East Indies. Can anyone help please.

Thank you both for your replies.  It was only when I sent for the will of John that I knew there was another child George!!  There was also another daughter Ann. However she is at least on the 1841 census although I can find no other mention of her.  A mystery indeed!!
