FREEMAN, George & Susannah 1841, 1851, 1861 1871, 1891

[Kiwi007]

Hi ,

I am looking for George FREEMAN b Cumberland 1831 and his wife, Susannah ( nee STUTCHBURY) b 1839, Whitechapel.

They had

Edward John b 1864 b Bromley
Jessie M b 1869 b Limehouse

by 1891, they also had:

Ethel, Hilda and George

They were living in London in 1881

George was a mariner so may be away.

Any help really appreciated, as I cannot find George FREEMAN's birth anywhere and hope he may show up in 1841 onwards with parents and siblings

Thanks kindly

Jocelyn

There is no census for Whitehaven 1841 online....maybe need to go to the local

Sorry I pressed the wrong key

Anyway...
as I was saying, can't find 1841 Whitehaven census on Ancestry...if you could get someone to look in the Cumbrin Records Office you might find something.

On 1851 the only Freeman I have found in Whitehaven is

Ann Freeman b 1803 Cumberland (Servant unmarried)
HO107/2436 3 287 5
42 Market place
Whitehaven
in the household of Richard Bell (hairdresser)

There is however in Bowness in 1851
HO107/2432 9 100 23
Edward Freeman b 1803 Whitehaven, Durham (blacksmith)
Hannah Freeman b 1803 Whitehaven, Durham

and Bowness 1841
HO107/164/8

Edward Freeman b 1801 blacksmith
Hannah Freeman b 1801
Mary b 1827
Hannah b 1839

Obviously they may well not have any connection, however that birthplaec of whitehaven...Durham is an interesting entry and worth consideration don't you think?

Thank you so very much Nellie! This has given me lots of clues- I was quite clueless before:-))

You are right - I will try the Cumbrin board and see what comes up.

Am very pleased with what you have found so far though - many thanks again

Sorry Jocelyn that should have read CUMBRIAN Records Office..I type too quickly when I'm excited to have found something...and so I make silly typing errors

[Kiwi007]

No problem Nellie- I know the feeling well...:-))

I am now working away on all your clues and having great fun!

Cheers and many thanks again

ooooh - you shouldn't have said that!!

I would love to find Susannah b 1839 and Hilda Susan FREEMAN in 1891 if at  all possible

They both died in the 1890's - Hilda was only 20 when she died in 1899.

Also, 1891,  looking for William HALL b Cornwall and Elizabeth Jane HALL b 1843 Cornwall ( sometimes Devon)- children will be :

Evelyn, b 1868-Devon
Samuel Romilly b 1872-Devon
Lilian b 1877 Mile End
William H b 1878 Mile End

William was a mariner - or engine fitter

Any help would be fantastic

Kind regards
Jocelyn
