Hi - I live around the Midland/Swan area & go past Ferguson St on my way 2 work each morn - what actually did u want to know perhaps I coud help.

Troods
Hi Troods, the main thing we are attempting to find out is the Freemason history of James Freer, it was suggested in a paper article I found in Trove the he founded the Midland Lodge or the Midland Junction Lodge, I have sent a couple of emails to the Grand Lodge over the last 6/7 months but they don't reply, I do get the auto responder to say they did get the email, but that's it.

I googled Freemasons Lodge Midland & found it on Google maps - I know exactly where that building is  in Midland however like you said they seem to be a very private society etc.

Hi all- I am just starting to do the freer family history and am the son of Donald Freer who is the son of James and Christina , my name being donald John Freer- Most of your postings seem to be around july 2011 so I may be a little late to catch anyone-hopefully not-most of the information posted is correct and at this time I can add little else other than information on Donald and His Brother James.
If contact is still of interest you can email me on (*)
