Hi Alison,
I have just tried your email address in a previous posted message but it came back rejected. I'm afraid that I only have the FREEBMD dates for Eliza Stebbings & Benjamin Freakes dob & marriage. I have collected the info that you have given on prefious messages & from others. Which son of Benjamin junior are you descended from? I would appreciate any other info that you can provide. Would you like a mini history print of the Stebbings family (11 pages)? Unfortunately I can only use the Internet at my local library & would need a postal address to send the info. My email is 'davidlheath@hotmail.com'.

I have Freakes family tree in detail from eliza and benjamin onwards. Do you have exact DOB and death of Eliza stebbings and Benjamin Freakes? And exact date of their marriage in 1867. I have Benjamin's parents as William and Mary Groves (from the Freakes family Bible) but no details. Benjamin and Eliza were my father's (deryck henry Freakes) grandparents. My mother who is still alive remembers all Eliza's children. Am happy to fill you in if you have gaps.

Re: Freakes....Harwood in Normandy?

rogerwhite1 — 2007-09-03 13:19:05Z

Bernadette
My interest in the 'Freakes' comes from a gtx5 grandmother, Hannah Freakes who married William Attfield(my mother is nee Attfield). Hannah was born in Wanborough in 1752 and baptised in Compton. Hannah's mother was an Elizabeth Harwood b 1714(in Wanborough I think) who married James Freakes in Ash in 1742 by Licence. They had at least 7 children, one of which was Hannah. Her parents(I think) were Richard Harwood (probably of Wanborough) and Elizabeth Daley of Bisley.
This is all I know about the Harwoods(have seen it spelt Harewood, Harward, etc etc) in that area and there are many Harwoods in the area on earliest census's. There was a John Harwood living in Ash in 1691

Re: Freakes....Harwood in Normandy?

catmrs1959 — 2007-09-02 14:43:53Z

Getting desperate & hope you might be able to help. Am looking for Harwood family, Worplesdon, Normandy, Wyke,Ash?? Have been to the Normandy historians website & found it very helpful. My great grandmother was Fanny Smither, nee Harwood. Her father was John Harwood & I have a family that seems to match. But there are 2 marriages between a John & Jane & the offspring for both are confused. I have 2 Janes, Harrison whose marriage to a John Harwood is reg at St Marks 1851 & a Jane Kersley 1853. Have seen your ancestors on Normandy website & just wondered if your research might have uncovered anything more about families in the area? Cant find any birth info about Fanny. But have christenings 30 june 1861 both Worplesdon & Wyke for a Fanny Harwood, both born to a John & Jane. Appreciate any info.

rogerwhite1 — 2007-04-19 21:41:56Z

As far as I know there is no Cerne in Hampshire but there is a Cerne Abbas in the next county, Dorset. From my research on the Freakes(a gtx5 grandmother of mine was Hannah Freakes of Ash Surrey, b 1752) most of them, at least in the C18th, were living in the Guildford/Ash area of Surrey, in/near Ringwood in Hampshire(near Dorset border), and in the Bristol area. The vast majority of Freakes, Frekes etc had nothing to with landowning, Baronetcies, etc. Most were small scale farmers, hop-growers and malsters. regards Roger

Re: Blanche Dainton

2005-02-21 02:49:23Z

Now that you have established she was called Blanche Eliza and not Blanche May her details are:

Blanche Eliza Dainton was born 1884, daughter of Arthur Henry & Alice Dainton. She was born in Westminster, London.

Veronica

Blanche Dainton

freakes — 2005-02-20 17:33:07Z

Blanche Freakes middle name was definitely Eliza. She died 31.6.1960 I'm pretty sure.Have worked this out through having just read letters from her husband Benjamin Freakes to my father and grandfather. Blanche was known to the family as Aunty Molly. Was a very good pianist and may have played professionally.
Have a few more dates:her daughter Nina born. 25.10.16 her
Son Roland born. 15.6.21 Roland married Mollie. All Blanches children now dead but many grandchildren.
Benjamin freakes born. 25.6.1872

Re: Hubert Dainton Freakes

2005-01-04 18:54:10Z

1) Was Blanche May Dainton born in South Africa as I can only find one Blanche Dainton born (1884) in England that would fit?
2) What is the information on the marriage certificate regarding Blanche's father?
3) Michael Arnold Freakes was buried at St Thomas's Cemetery in Durban (July 1986). Was this their 'Family' church? And if so what records are available?

Re: Hubert Dainton Freakes

2005-01-03 18:18:44Z

It looks like this to me, after looking at 1881 census (did not find them in 1871 or 1891 census) and checking the Birth, Marriage & Death index. I did not find Eliza (b.1871) or Amy (b.1880) in birth records. I corrected the dates for the others I found. Benjamin was registered in 1872.

As for Mother it seems most likely she was Eliza Stebbings as she was born in 1848 in Newington & married in Newington, while the other canidate, Eliza Wilcox was not born in Newington (compare to 1881 census)

Yes I'm interested in exploring further along the Feakes line, both back along Benjamin's line as well as forward, if it's not too much trouble.

I 'm interested in the marriage of Benjamin & Blanche as well as any other dates of the children (Nina & Ronald) & where they were born.

Thank you for your reply and additional information.

Re: Hubert Dainton Freakes

freakes — 2005-01-01 18:42:33Z

and ..Roland also married to ?
I have other bits and pieces re Freakes if you're interested.

Have just spotted your entry re:Freakes..I too have been researching the Freakes family in the Ash/Worplesdon/Wanborough areas..

On June 2 1832 Naomi Freakes married George Terry in Holy Trinity, Guildford..they then lived Flexford and Perry Hill, Worplesdon. They are direct ancesors of my husband. The "jury" is still out as to which Thomas was Naomi's father..he may be Thomas the illegitimate son of Mary "your" Hannah's sister.

“The Bristol Registers records all indentured servants who left from the port of Bristol, England from 1654-1686. The database contains records for approximately 10,000 indentured servants sent from Bristol to the New World. The Bristol Registers database are taken from the book The Bristol Registers of Servants Sent to Foreign Plantations, 1654-1686, by Peter Wilson Coldham, published by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, in 1988. The original registers, entitled Servants to Foreign Plantations, were contained in two leather-bound volumes and can be found in the archives of the Corporation of the City of Bristol, England.

Hello Ruth,
I've sent Robert an e-mail to ask him for further information on Blanche Dainton in South Africa. There is a lady from the Frome Group (Yahoo) who has been collecting Frome & Somerset, but mainly Frome people who have ended up in South Africa (1800 - 1930). I believe Robert has forward quite a few names to her, including that of Dainton. I don't know if there is anyone working on the Gloucestershire families that have moved to South Africa?

Re: FRAKES,FREKE,FREAKE,FREAK,EVANS-FREKE

ryanhicks1 — 2004-01-22 15:35:15Z

This information might have come from a novel called White Mischief. Castle Freke, which lies West of Cork between Clonakilty and Skibbereen, is standing, not a crumbling ruin.
The lands that were part of the Carberry Baronetcy are part of
Irish National lands now, and considered as a park. Some roof repairs were made in recent years, but you can go through this castle. I did in '95. The Freke name(pronounced freck a ) is actually Danish. The first titled man of this line
was Ralphe Freke, who was accountant and treasurer to Henry VIII. I believe Elizabeth I ceded the Carberry Baronetcy to the Frekes. The line has other branches, and it is a bit more complicated than Evans married in. There are Frekes, Evans-Frekes, and Hussey-Frekes. Doing the research, I looked through decades worth of Burke's Peerage and later DeBrett's - and if you do you will see that there is a long gap
(many decades worth) before you come to the present day
title holders 11th Baron Carberry. Burke's and DeBrett's
are both commercial, and the families pay to list. There is also a national register published by the government which shows from the 6th Baron the line transfered over 3 times I believe as the then title holders died without issue. These were also Frekes, as the family was then spread through England and Ireland.
