Durham / Re: Another mystery Wilhelmina Maud Freek Cancick

Thanks PB3 for the cemetary records.  Very interesting and has helped a lot.  Also much appreciated that you did this.  Some where along the line they are all related due to the fact there were many children.  Their name was indeed Freek Cancick, Freek originally being a first or middle name.  However in those days it would appear that many families named their children the same so then it gets confusing as to who was who.

Hobday and Whinney are relations - my mother had cousins so named.

 Thank you again - Georgina2:)

I replied to this yesterday but I see it has not shown up.  So to clear up your mystery:

William Freek was William Freek Cancick - family name.  Some members of the family appear to have dropped the Cancick part - however my mother was christened Margaret Freek Cancick although always known as Freek.  Freek appears to have been a first name or middle name so their surname was actually Cancick.

Research shows they were probably originally from Solingen in Germany and propably swordmakers. Due to religious persecution in their own country they went to Shotley Bridge a remote location and renowned for swordmaking.

Wilhelmina was the sister of my grandfather Joseph Michael Freek Cancick.  I list the whole family below:

William Freek (1838-1921) General Dealer, Stanhope married Jane Ann Waggot (1840) and resided at 14 Eltringham Street Blackhill

were the parents of:

John James (1861) Ann J (1865) George W (1868) Mary Fanny (1870) Edith A (1872) Wilhelmina M (1874) in my research I found she had married a Hubert Doughty? Emily J (1876) Gertrude L (1877) and my Grandfather Joseph M (1880)

I have an old photo of the family but don't know how I can send it to you maybe able to do this at some stage.

Hope this info helps with your mystery
