When George Freeman returned to the UK, 31 October 1931 he went to 18 Acton Street Kings Cross which was the same address which his mother Mrs E Freeman lived at in 1926.

Checked 18 Acton Street on electoral rolls - no Freeman's at any time BUT from 1925 to 1937 there was an Emily Sayer which seems too much of a coincidence given his mothers name when a George married Canada 1934.

OP knows he had a sister who he visited in WW2 - who was the sister and i.e. their parents?   I note the OP hasn't been on Rootschat since 2013!!

Reply 4 did say old thread.  Its nice to revisit these older threads, had quite a lot of success.
Can't be guaranteed but on many occasions the OP does come back !!!

There was a marriage of Emily Freeman to John  Sayer - St Pancras registered 1922 - 1b 166  ??

Back to the Freeman/Sayer marriage.  The 1935 Canada Voters List could very well refer to the year previously (it seems they do) and the marriage of Freeman/Sayer took place 1 st November 1934.

Ellen Lorraine Bryant/Freeman may have married a Lou Brill ??

Source :- Anc Tree.

It is possible that this couple had three children.  A daughter Barbara Freeman born 1937 and passed away 2013 (no source) married Donald Walter Sommerville born 1933 passed away 1975 Thornhill, York, Ontario.

Canadian Headstone Index, 1840-2017  - Donald W. Sommerville - died 23 December 1975.

Inscription - In Loving Memory of DONALD W. SOMMERVILLE

Barbara might have remarried at least once, if not three times ??

Any chance of picking up an obit for that one Run Kitty ?

I wonder Run Kitty would there be a death notice/obituary for Samuel that might lead us to the Freeman's ??

Reply #12 mentions possible marriage between Ellen Lorraine Bryant/Freeman and Lou Brill.
On the 1953 Voter list for York-Humber, Ellen Freeman, packer, is listed at the same address on Porter Avenue as Lewis Brill, driver. No one else listed at that address.
