  • Notes 
    • Joseph appears to have dropped the WEBB surname quite early on and most of the records are of him with the surname FREEMAN

      Note that in the same address in 1871 are Edmund and Rebecca BROOKE (sisters of Mary Ann???)

      When he died, he also seems to have had a property at 15, Pudding Lane, London. He left £1126 to his son.
