Hello again Katharine.

It seems that we are third cousins!

Your Great Grandfather, George Henry, married Mary Ann Freeman. I can take your Hale ancestry back with certainty to Eli Hale born in January 1777 and with a little guesswork back to Nicholas Hale born 1550. There are lots of your relatives living around Cirencester. My dad was born in Tarlton bgut I am a northerner born in Middlesbrough. I spent several holidays as a child every year around the area though.

The Freemans (you have a 3rd cousin once removed who is my Uncle John Freeman living in Cirencester) go back to Henry born about 1730.

I'm not sure how I can give you my direct e-mail without having it scanned and spammed on here but you could try.

my shortened first name at haleweb dot net.

regards

Ron
