John Freestone

[JohnTownsend]

Have just started with RootsWeb, but saw earlier discussion on John FREESTONE. I am the grandson of a FREESTONE but appears to be a line from John b.1812's younger brother Henry b.1819 (who appears to have returned to Nottingham from Calais). Henry's son Edmund Frederick William b.1849 appears to have later emigrated out to New South Wales in 1868 to work on the gold fields, and was my grandmother's father. He is buried just south of Sydney having died in 1924.

Would be interested in any further information on the FREESTONES in Nottingham, or of very distant links here in Australia. I am based in Brisbane and probably better contacted on my e-mail *.
Best regards

Hi John,

   You should probably remove your e-mail address to protect you from spammers (just hit modify and backspace over it) or else a moderator will probably remove it soon to protect you

   I think this is death notice for your ancestor  http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article16121045
