After a long break I have tried to pick up the family tree again. For all those who have expressed an interest in George Sinclair Biddall Freeman I have created a basic website - www.myraheath.webs.com which I hope you will find useful. This is a work in progress.........

My grandmother's diary mentions 'george sinclair biddall freeman's' (GSBF) stepbrother called Joseph Biddall (spelt Biddle in grandmother's notes). She says Joseph vistited fairs in Workington, Cumberland in 1900's.

The diary also says that GSBF was the youngest of fourteen children.  His mother was married twice and had seven children named biddall and seven named freeman.

She also mentions GSBF's 'stepbrother' (possxibly half brother) Sam and his wife Polly and their son called Sammy and their shooting gallery and coconut shy.

She also remembers meeting 'Albert' who she remember's as very very wealthy with 'his wagon as long as two coaches of a train'.

George Samuel Freeman is listed as 'Dealer' on the certificate.  The witnesses names on the certificate are hard to read but i think they say 'Alexander Humphrey' and 'B------ A.M.Pearson'.  Date 11th July 1907.

My Grandmother believed Gelorge Sinclair Biddall freeman was born in Scotland

Gosh - thakyou for all that.  i have been given my grandmother's diary today (the little girl in the photo) and in it she saysher father's brother owned a fairground shooting gallery - which could well explain the marksman link!!!  It also says he was at 'Woolwich Arsenal' and that he was in the army before the war, left, then re-enlisted at start of WW1.

I am trying to identify this uniform from WW1, we believe the photo was taken very roughly about 1915.  The man's name is Geoge Sinclair (Biddall) Freeman but we know very little else about him.  Thankyou, Lib.
