Hello Susan, Rob and Ian,
Have just found this board - very interesting!
I am wondering, whether anyone has been able to trace our ancestors beyond Joseph Freeth, as per below? My sources are sketchy - feel free to advise of any inaccuracies -
1. JOSEPH Freeth was born 1663 in England (very sketchy - no details).
Child of JOSEPH Freeth is:
JOSEPH Freeth, b. Abt. 1689, West Bromwich, Handsworth & Har, Staffs.
Generation No. 2
2. JOSEPH Freeth - born Abt. 1689 in West Bromwich, Handsworth & Har, Staffs. Marr. FRANCES HENN - born Abt. 1693 in West Bromwich, Handsworth & Har, Staffs.
Children of JOSEPH Freeth and FRANCES HENN are:
i. JOSEPH Freeth, b. April 04, 1716.
ii. JAMES Freeth, b. February 02, 717/18
iii. ANN Freeth, b. May 01, 1719.
iv. JEREMIAH Freeth, b. July 22, 1722.
v. SUSANNAH Freeth, b. Jan 29 1723
vi. JAMES Freeth, b. March 11, 1725/26
vii. JOB Freeth, b. Abt. Feb 12, 1727/28
Generation No. 3
3. JOB Freeth b. Abt. Feb 12, 1727/28 in Handsworth, Staffs, England, d. May 12, 1810 in Harborne, Staffs, England. Marr. (1) HANNAH LERRIGOE, b. Jan 15, 1737/38 in Rowley Regis, Staffs, England. He married (2) NANCY SMALLWOOD Oct 25, 1759 in St Martins, Birmingham, Warws, England.
Our relationship is through the John Freeth who emigrated to Australia on the Lady Nugent, married Sarah Eather (Heather) and died at Warkworth, NSW AUSTRALIA in 1859. He is my great, great grandfather. On his Ticket of Leave his name was changed to "Frith". He used the name Frith when he married Sarah Eather, so all issue from that date are known as "Friths", (is my maiden name). The ship record notes he had a family of 2, which suggests he married and had 2 children before he left UK. We have details for all children from his marriage in Australia to Sarah Eather... but can find no records for him of any marriage or issue in UK.
Perhaps one of you may have some info' on a possible marriage and children born in the UK? He was tried in Nottinghamshire Petty Sessions Court (listed as a shoemaker) before his deportation.
Most appreciative,
Penny Bell.
