Hi,

There is a birth of a William Henry Freeston Jan 1869, Grantham and a death in the same quarter for this person.

Mother's maiden name of the above is recorded as Colton.

Could this be who you are looking for?

Where have you found him?  There must be at least one place to know of his existence, his pob and yob!

[avm228]

Yes there must be at least some shred of information to base his existence on

I wonder whether the Freestone entry on this Roll of Honour is relevant - see paternal details:
