Title: East Stonehouse & Stoke Damerel look-up
Post by: Jewel of the North on Thursday 12 April 07 19:29 BST (UK)
Looking for birth or baptism of Mary Freebarn c. 1825 in
East Stonehouse, parents James & Mary Freebarn.  Also
birth or baptism of Ann Crusoe c. 1827 in Stoke Damerel,
parents Robert Crusoe and Ann Sleep.
Not positive about spelling in either case.  Freebarn has
appeared on census records as Freeborn and Freeburn.
Crusoe could be Caruso?

David,
Thanks for that information. Yes, I did know about the siblings.  Someone was kind enough to give me that info on
the 1841 & 1851 Census.  Appreciate your help.
Bob

Very interested in this thread - 4 years later!  If he's the man I think, Mary's father - James Freebarn - was a musician in the Royal Marines, married to Mary Stratford. He's my 3 x great grandfather, and your Mary's younger sister Sarah Freebarn (b 19 Feb 1843) went on to marry my gggrandfather, George Stentiford, a shipping clerk, naval pensioner and ice-factory manager. I've picked up some assorted tidbits about James Freebarn's naval career, and bare details about his children - which I'd be happy to share - but I know next to nothing about Mary Stratford.
Best regards,
John (Toronto Canada)
