Going back to earlier  replies

i now think this is the father of Thomas freeman who was  Dorcas Merridon
1st husband  father

IGI has his Christening 1812  in Hemel Hempstead

Fanny Merridon above  ( daughter off Thomas and Ann Freeman  christened 1814  Great Gaddesden, Hertford)

 Shown on the 1841 census married Dorcas Brother William Merriton   




i am now trying to find out  about Thomas freeman and  Wife Ann

is this Thomas married to Ann Ghast 13 Feb 1802 Hemel Hempstead



as the families seem to interlinked

hope this makes sense

Hi Andrea,

I didn't realise that you didn't already have this information. 

Yes that Freeman family from Bovingdon on 1841 is Thomas Freeman & his wife Ann Ghast/ Ghost.  The IGI extracted has the surname as Ghast but she is also know as Ann Ghost.

Hi Andrea,

I have been very lucky to have had some wonderful information sent me regarding the Freeman-Merriden connection in Bovingdon by a very experienced family history researcher to whom I am greatly indebted for her help and assistance.

Regarding Jas aged 14 & Ann aged 3 on the 1841 Census, this is what I have. 

Jas is a shortening for James.
James Freeman son Thomas Freeman & Anne Ghost born Bovingdon, Herts 18 August 1827.  Christened 20 August 1827 (private baptism) Bovingdon, Herts. 

Ann Freeman born 27 May 1838 is the grandchild of Thomas Freeman & Ann Ghost.  Her mother Sarah Freeman was born abt 1819 & christened Jan 1819 in Hemel Hempstead is  the child of Thomas & Anne Freeman.  Sarah Freeman married the father of Ann, James Final in Bovingdon, on 26 Jan 1845.

The above information was taken from PR's by Patrica Ward.
