Thomas Mansfield Freestone and beyond
Hi,
Just found this site today. I am Matt Freestone, my dad is Gordon Freestone (b1933). His dad was Walter James Freestone (1897-1954) married to Mabel Humberstone. His dad was Thomas Mansfield Freestone (1863-1940) married to Mary Ellen Ryalls. Thomas father may be John Freestone married to Elizabeth, but I know nothing about them. Thomas had the following children apart from Walter: Frederick, Edwin (Eddie), John, Alfred, Ernie, and Ada. He may have had a brother called Charles.
Thomas M was born in Sheffield but in the 1891 census he's in Nuneaton working as a skinner, and in 1901 he's boarding in Lincoln with Edwin. The children all seem to be born in different places so they moved around a fair bit it seems.
I notice a couple of people have mentioned a Thomas Ivison Freestone who was a contemporary of Thomas Mansfield - I don't know if the two are related.
Any help appreciated - I can complete some details in the descendant tree from Thomas M.
You can mail me at matt at furthermore dot org dot uk if you want to talk off the forum.
Thanks.
