1871 Lookup Hampshire

[groom]

Hi glad to have been of help. Slight correction Thomas's place of birth should be Hampstead Middlesex, not St Pancreas in the 1881. He was living in St Pancreas.


Have you seen the records in the IGI? There is an extracted record for
Thomas James Freail
christened 25 Dec 1864 at St Thomas, Portsmouth Hampshire
Father Thomas Freail, mother Mary Ann

There are also other extracted records for Freails including that of Maude May Freail born 5th Jan 1873 and christened 19th Jan 1873 Aden, Maharashra, India. Father Thomas James Freail and mother Mary Ann.

Also: Eleanor Mildred born 8 July 1874 christened 13th August 1874 Coloba-Bombay
         Maria Alice born 13th March 1871 christened 9th April 1871 Aden

This would be why we cant find them in the 1871 census - they were in India  I wonder why?

I can't find a birth for Thomas 1838, but of course the age on the census could be slightly out and he could have been born before registration started in 1837.

Fascinating family - let me know how you get on

Hi Jan,
           Thanks for that,will have a look,as Thomas and Mary Anns childrens names,include James and Eleanor,also William Charles and of couse Thomas , feel these must be strongly linked with James and Eleanor Harvey but luckily at least Thomas and Mary Ann married in England so their marriage cert should yeild a bit of information,we shall see.Eleanor and James Son,Charles William frail was on the Ship Baccante as a gunner with Prince Albert and HRH prince George on as midshipman.
thank-you again
