Hi, Is anyone researching the surname FREEMAN in the Southwark, area? I have (I hope) John FREEMAN marrying Ann HAINES in 1810 in St Olave. From family letters I know that they had at least five children - John, Isabella, Edwin, Thomas and Eliza. John and Edwin eventually came to Australia, John marrying here and Edwin bringing his family across. According to the letters, Isabella married Abraham Oliver and I have not found them in any census with children. Thomas was supposedly married to an Isabella and had at least one daughter by 1863. Eliza is married with five children - husband not mentioned. I have picked up a couple of other baptisms in the same two parishes for an Ann and William Henry and because they are not mentioned in the letters I suspect they may have died young. John and son John both appear to be Feltworkers or hat makers and Edwin was a plasterer, but this is the extend of my knowledge of this family. Would love contact with anyone researching this name. Unfortunately John & Ann FREEMAN appear to be a very common combination. :-( Regards Pat
