I wonder if someone could find members of the Freear family who lived in Southwark, London.
William Huddleston Freear b. abt. 1790 and his wife (unknown) had about 6 children. They were born in Southwark, between 1813 and 1829. Sarah b. 1813, Elizabeth b.1818, Hannah Huddleston b. 1820, Ann b. 1825, William b. 1827 and Thomas b. 1829.
Hannah Huddleston Freear b. 1820 immigrated to Cape Town SA, and married in March 1843.
I am wondering if her father William and her 2 brothers, William b. 1827, and Thomas b. 1829, were still living in Southwark at the time of the 1841 census.
I would be most grateful of some help in locating the family
Regards Gertie
