My father was Bernard Robert Freeman born 1.9.37. He recently died on 20.7.05.

Looking to trace his father, Robert William Freeman,of Bill Mills, married to Eileen Hall.

This is a long shot in 1901

This Freeman family is about the closest I can find to Hope Mansell and Bill Mills.

Thanks for your help. At the moment I have very little to go on, so this is a big help. I have no information on my grandfather other than his name so I guess I'm going to have to play detective.

Any more info you come across would be great.
